Personally, I think that it is better to have two separate installations,
using BIOS to switch from one to the other.. when setting this up, two
drives are required, each one being initially set up with the other
disconnected.. once that both drives are in running order, connect both..
Be careful not to run XP utilities on a Vista installation.. some can be
destructive..
