Dual Operating System

I have a toshiba laptop with vista home premium preinstalled on it. I would
like to install windows 2003 or Xp as another os. I have already created
second partition. I tried installing win2003 with bootable cd but after it
installed on other partitioned space, after reboot it did not gave me the
option of selecting operating system. Pls. help.

Re: Dual Operating System

take a look at this link from my website:
http://vistasupport.mvps.org/install...ning_vista.htm

The title of the article refers to XP but the same principle applies with
Windows 2003
