Installing Vista with XP installed

Hi All,

Well with SP1 rolling out a few peeps at my workplace said that their boxes are "alot snappier" with Vista SP1 installed. Nothing but good things to say about it. I am going to install it on my home machine that already has XP Pro installed on it. I went to run partition magic 8 to create new partition and got the attached error. Is there an easy way to create a dual boot with XP already installed. I have a 500GB HD want to keep XP on there with about 50GB and then make the other partition 450GB for Vista. Any reason why I got the error? I just want to create a partition in XP then boot from CDROM and install Vista to that partition.

Thanks for any help!
