Install Vista on XP computer using Gparted live CD utility.

These are the steps I did on my XP laptop:

  1. Prepare for the installation – backup the XP and data.
  2. Download Gparted Live CD and boot it from the XP laptop.
  3. After Gparted starts, it lists the current partitions (including their filesystem types) on the hard disk.
  4.  Highlight /dev/hda1, and click on Resize/Move.
  5. Type the size you want, and click on the Resize/Move button.
  6. The /dev/hda1 has been shrinked, and you will see the new, free space is unallocated. The follow the instruction to create a new partition.
  7. After restart the computer, you can install Vista in the new partition.
