I need to have OSX vista and XP running on my new imac. I installed OSX then installed xp using bootcamp then upgraded xp to vista. Now I need to install XP but it seems that bootcamp will not allow me to install another operating system is there a good way to this without using Parallels? Thanks.

I'm cool, I have a mac.
The only point of Bootcamp is to make a soft partition.
With Bootcamp there is no way to run two Windows operating systems. However, if you repartition your drive into three different parts then you can, but then you have to reformat your computer. These partitions are also not reversible like Bootcamp would usually allow you to do.
You can also hook up an external drive and then install a Windows operating system on that (assuming you have a laptop), if you have a desktop computer then just add extra hard drives inside.
