David,
We set up multi-boot for our EduBlog project, see my Wiki page:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Az990tony/edublog-beta-sw

Windows Vista may present some additional challenges.  Our Multi-boot did 
not include that.

> I have a laptop with dual boot (Vista Business, Ubuntu 7.10). It uses 
the
> Windows boot loader to ask which to use on startup.I want to use the 
laptop
> on my travels for demonstrations (using a prototype active antenna). I 
used
> the Windows install feature to install Ubuntu from within Windows. In
> Windows, the space/partition allocated to Ubuntu shows up as a separate
> drive.
>
> Is it possible to install the XS image on top of this configuration,
>  overwriting the Ubuntu OS on drive E but leaving the Windows and dual 
boot
> loader intact?
