Yup. The whole "not-compatible" thing is what you missed. Norton/Symantec
and MSFT aren't getting along very well. Try Avast for your anti-virus
since it's also free and fully Vista-kinda-compatible, and use Ghost from
the XP side of your dual-boot system.

Yeah, should be no real issue, as long as you have the partitions and stuff
set correctly.
