    Dual Boot - Adding XP & Partition

    Hi,

    I am wondering how to repartition my hdd to add a third partition.Can XP be
    installed anywhere on the hdd (in its own partition)? Do i need to use
    partition magic to add this partition,so that no data needs to be erased ?

    Can i install XP now that Vista is already installed?
    Are there any particular things i need to select during the installation of
    XP?

    I havent setup dual boot with XP (and windows 98) for a long while.So any
    help would be appreciated.

    Thanks
