Any ways to install both XP and Vista in a computer?

My computer is now running Vista Home Basics but I also want to have XP installed as many of my music software are not compatible with Vista.

However, I am having trouble installing XP from CD boot. It gave the error "SHSUCDX can't be installed" and the installation cannot start.

Is there any way to install both XP and Vista in a computer? I have done a partition trying to have one with Vista installed and the other one with XP. However, Vista seems to always require itself to be the primary active drive and it always recognizes itself as the C drive no matter how I rename them. Is it the reason why it does not start XP installation?

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thx in advance.
