Best software/way of starting a new partition so I can install Vista along with XP?

Thanks.

Disk Management (start, run, diskmgmt.msc) shrink volume then make a new partition from unallocated space.

You can't do it in XP. Either download GParted (Urgh), Acronis Disk Director or Partition Magic 8

Yeah I did realise that not long after I posted earlier.

I'm now using Norton Magic Partition...

Is that any good?

Partition Magic is decent for XP, unfortunately doesn't work on Vista :(

Even Vista's disk management is very limited in terms of features.

Yeah but it does the basic job, I mean all you really need is the basics for partitions, nothing special?
