I dual boot Vista and Fedora Core 6 on my laptop with a single hard drive.

All I did was shrink the partition being used by vista:

Start -> Computer -> Manage -> Storage -> Disk Management: Then right click on the vista partition 'Shrink Volume'.

After that I inserted the FC6 DVD and setup a custom partition schema on the new empty partition once I was prompted to select where and how I want to install FC6.

I then told it to boot into the Vista partition upon start up as default. I can optionally select to boot into Fedora from grub.

It's not hard to do and you shouldn't need any third party software. Just be careful not overwrite Vista by selecting the wrong partition!
