Duel boot with Vista 64

I am running Vista 64 bit on my new set up and almost everything is going great. I tried to install my new sound card m-audio delta 1010 and no luck it will not run on vista64. They have beta software for vista64 but will not allow you to download it so either I wasted 500 bucks on a sound card or I set up a duel boot but I don't know how to go about setting up a duel boot. I have a copy of XP and and extra HD or two laying around that I could use. Can someone tell me the best way to set up a duel boot system and how they work?

Thanks! Looks like they moved the guide to http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_v...step_guide.htm
I will give this a try tonight from scanning the guide I think it will work by putting XP on a different hard drive rather than on my current c drive.
