Problem with Installing XP on System that already has Vista Installed ...

    Hi Guys,

    I have a system with Vista on it, which I am generally very happy with. But for work reasons I will have to install XP on it as well for dual boot.

    I have created a new partition etc, and all is Setup according to all the Infos I found.

    The problem I have is when I initially start the XP Installation it will copy all the necessary Files to the Windows Installation Folders. After it is finished with that it wants to restart to start the actual Installation of XP. And then it seems to end. After the restart it doesn't go back into the XP Setup. It will just give the message "Failed to load Operating System".

    I am sure I have missed something small, but can't figure out where I went wrong.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers,
    DubDani
