I just downloaded the Vista beta 1 and was wondering if it is possible to DUAL boot Vista and my current XP operating system (obviously putting Vista on another parition, in my case, my E Drive)

Thanks in Advance guys!

Yes it is possible to do that, Vista will install a bootmanager so you can dualboot with XP.
