2 versions of Windows on the same Mac?

Hi, I installed Vista 64bit SP1 and it's running flawlessly. However, I need XP Pro SP3 on the same machine and Bootcamp will not let me make a new 30GB partition on the main drive. My only option is to use another disk but I can't at the moment.

Can you run in a virtualized environment? Parallels or Fusion or even Virtual PC on the Vista side.

Hi,
thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately I need to run in native mode. I'm very familiar with how bootcamp works but I am scratching my head with this one.

Use a partition resizer from within Windows to add a new partition and install from there. You don't need to use Bootcamp at all, though you might to use the boot.ini method of selecting which Windows to boot.

That makes sense...I do have around 50GB left on the Vista partition. I should've made a 100GB partition for Vista :\
