Default Dual Boot with Vista OEM

I have a pc with Vista Home Premium OEM pre-installed [and no CD coz it seems to be 3Gb+ in size]. For 2 specific reasons, I wish to dual-boot with Windows 2000 Professional for which I have the CD. I have followed page 1 [of 4] and successfully partitioned the C:\ drive, but, at the foot of Page 2, you say [after loading XP] re-boot with your Vista CD in place. Is there a workaround if there is no Vista CD, or, if I have installed W2k in the partitioned section, will the pc auto-load Vista and present the same options?

Thanks and regards
