Dual boot vista with server 2008

Hi all,

I have a laptop with Vista Business preinstalled.

I have 116 GB unallocated space on the HD on which I wish to install Server
2008 64 bit edition. Will there be an issue with booting Vista after I
install Server 2008 (ie am I installing them the correct way round - Vista
first, then Server 2008)?

Regards, Anastas

It worked: install Vista first, then W2K8. Finding drivers for W2K8 is
another matter...

Yup, it should work. The rule of thumb is to install the older operating
system first then the newer.
