Install vista?

hi,
How do I install Vista on a seperate partition,
I installed Vista on a seperate partition while XP was in another partition, and now only Vista is loading,

what I need is to have dual boot with XP & VISTA. How do I do this...

some other details...
1) there was a recovery partition set by HP as primary,
2) My XP was in a logical partition,
3) Installed Vista on a Logical Partition as well
4) Now when I boot from Vista, the XP partition is there but the boot menu doesnt have an entry for XP.
5) I suspect that installing both OS on logical partitions caused the problem... Is that so.. ????

PLZ HELP

Thanks

You should be able to update the boot config so that XP is present in the boot menu.

Use this website to figure our what lines you need to add: How to Use and Edit Boot.ini in Windows XP

DONT change the ones that are in there... just add more lines. Otherwise you may not be able to boot Vista.
