Machine runs Vista -- want to install XP for dual boot

Just purchased a Vaio with OEM Vista. Can I also install XP?

This is super important -- my backup software (Retrospect) unexpectedly will
not run on Vista. The only way I can get my data is to run it in XP. So I
think I need multiboot.

So, bottom line: if I partition my hard drive for multiboot, can I install
XP from a CD? I have tried this, but Vista prevents me from installing an
older OS.

Thanks in advance.
 
Yes To dual boot you must install XP and then install Vista on another
partition or drive.
