If you have enough space on the one HDD where XP is, you can resize the partition and install on the new partition (you can even do it from the Vista install program; if you want to install xp64, you need to use an external tool like Pargon Partition Manager.)

That's pretty much it, if you have any problems just check few threads down  btw it doesn't really matter where you install it, it's a matter of choice...

As long as it's not the partition with the XP. |

don't remember, but any partitioning software would do. What you want to do is so common that any partitioning software would do it. I did experience problems in the past when trying to use software straight from the OS, I would suggest making a boot disk if paragon can, if not then just use it from the OS and there probably won't be any problems. You'll be asked to reboot before your changes are applied.

paragon is great, moved over to it when i got vista, as partition magic wasn't compatible.
Used to use paragon partition manager, but only had home edition. Now i have server2k8 as multi boot with vista/xp/win7 the home edition wont run as it detects as server install (even when not in server2k8). Grabbed, paragon hard drive manager (which includes partition manager) which works fine with no complaints about a server.
