When XP is installed

Right Click My Computer > Manage > Disk Management

Right Click Vista Disk > Then Activate that Partition.

On next reboot, Vista will boot. Install EASYBCD then

@evewin89, I too have a Dell 1525 laptop and am looking for how to create a new partition to separate my data files from the program files of Vista... Please let me know how to repartition the disk space... I tried Vista's built-in partitioner, but it is unable to create a new partition from the newly formed free space since 4 primary partitions already exist and this free space comes in the middle...

Thanks in advance
