    Just create a new partition (other than the one where Windows XP is), and install it there. Windows will automaticly generate a different BOOT.INI so that it detects both OS's.

    That's the beauty of the newly created BOOT.ini 'cause during your boot sequance you're gonna have 30 seconds (more or less) to choose which system you wanna boot. Although, I haven't seen how well Windows XP functions with Vista in dual boot. But, if Windows 98 and Windows XP can work it out together, I'm sure this'll work too.
