installing windows vista then windows xp

Hi there
Well, we are testing Vista on a machine for testing ours softwares, and now we want install in the same machine on a new partition Windows XP, But a reed on 2 forums that this will bring errors like losing the Vista Loader
I remember that Windows XP have the option of install the OS on a new partition if we have a previus OS Instal
This operation will cause troubles?
What is the correct way of install the 2 OS on the same Machine? install XP and then Vista
Greetings

always install os in the order of their original release. so for vista and xp dual boot 1. install Xp 2 then vista on a different partition "acastro" wrote in message

-- I haven't TRIED any of this. It just logical thinking based on experience.
It should be possible to do the other way around but I haven't tested: First you need to restore XP boot stuff : bootsect /nt52 then after installing xp: bootsect /nt60 .. and then from vista edit the vista boot menu: bcdedit
bootsect is on Vista DVD
