Making my Computer into Duel Boot

When i make my comp, should i first install xp then win 7? I asked in yahoo answers and they said that its better if you install older OS's first rather than installing new one first. I want XP and win 7. So, when the comp is starting up, do i put my OS (XP) in and then follow the instruction and then once thats all done, i start my comp again and then put the Win 7 disc in and follow the instructions. Is that what I do? And about partitioning, once XP is installed, do i open command prompt and then type in 'fdisk' and then what?

The win7 dvd can partition your hard drive for you while installing.

Evry OS out there partitions your hard drive on installation.
