XP on Vista?

Hi,
I wanna borrow laptop from my friend but he has vista and I wanna some aplications that is running only on XP. So I would like to ask youl, because I am not familiar with Vista, if its possible to install safely XP on them and switch after start to XP or somehow easily. And later uninstall it in such way that my friend will not recognize it?

I heard about some feature in vista to have choice to install another operation system in some user friendly way but as I said I am tru XPer and want to know it 100%.

Hope somebody can help.

Thx

heil hitler = hh
h = 8th letter of alphabet
88=hh = heil hitler = 85912 892012518

2 partitions -> dual boot xp + vista.
Thx can you describe it more? I have gone almost crazy these days so my brain is very slowly :(
Parent
err? dont feel like reading... but vmware can do that ;)
and well...

edit: I guess you COULD take the comp, defrag it, make a stupid partition in the hd, install xp onto that (I doubt that xp installer comes with a "good" partition wizard, so find your own) and when you are done, just delete the partion, and resize the main partition to maximum... I wouldn't try this on a friends comp, but in theory, he shouldn't find out
thx and can you tell me some soft to do this? partions is not my cup of tea tbh, thx a lot!
