Vista Ultimate Installation question...

Hi peoples,

I'm about to install a complete version of Vista Ultimate.

However, I have a question before I install it.

Right now, I have a 400GB HDD with 3 partitions on it: XP Home, Vista RC2, and a Data/Files partition.

I plan on completely reformatting the partition with Vista RC2 on it, and then installing Vista Ultimate. Will I run in to any issues with my XP partition, since RC2 has already set up the boot-loader for XP, or will it just fix itself and run like it did with RC2?

Thanks

it should make a new bootloader, and make XP and vista dual boot,
it's working much better then RC2 did with the dual boot thing,
with RC2 I always had to use bootpro, and setup dual boot manually,
but it does it by it self now,
