Re: dual booting vista and xp.

I am running Vista on a 10 GB partition, but Vista eats up like 8GBs and it
has gotten really slow. You can go ahead and use that 10GB partition, but
the only think you can probably install is Office, Macromedia Flash Player,
Adobe Acrobat Reader and store some documents.
