Hi,

Sorry for this longish post, I just want to explain things as clearly as possible.

I am having problems dual booting XP and Vista. XP boots up as default which is what I want for the time being but I cannot boot to Vista. I do not get the boot loader during start-up so I cannot choose. The only way I can boot to Vista is to have the Vista DVD in the dvd drive at start-up, which loads the Vista boot loader allowing me to choose what OS I want to boot from.

I have 2 HDD’s:

1. My main drive is 250G. This has 2 partitions (200G for XP Pro 64bit and the rest for Vista Business 32bit)

I have XP Pro SP2 on this machine and Vista (I installed it on a second partition)...ran the setup through Windows, so Vista is on "drive" V: now.

Even in Vista everythings running under drive v: so I'm guessing Microsoft is not forcing us to use drive c: anymore.

What I want to know is, how do I get rid of XP Pro without messing up my system? It is currently on my c: drive. In the boot menu I have 2 options, so I don't want to damage this either. Also I want to resize my c: partition and mix it with v: so it will be just one big partition again.

All the applications I've installed went to v:\program files\

Okay... I've got two issues both concerning my hard drives. First of all, they are 2X 250GB in raid-0, but they look like one logical drive to everything else so I guess that doesn't really matter.

Anyway, I've got them partitioned 50/50 with xp/vista and I want to shift the space around a bit, taking it away from XP and adding it to vista.

In the past I've used norton partition magic to resize my XP partion and play around with storange partitions. It worked fine for creating a partition for vista too but whenever I would try to resize the vista partition using partition magic it would cause vista not to boot saying files are missing. That happened twice to me and it was with beta versions both times.

Hi

I have a little problem.

I have a partition "D:" with 2GB free, and I have the C: partition where I installed Windows Vista.

The problem that I have is that the partition D: is the active partition where Windows Vista Boot Manager is installed, and I want to erase D: and only boot from the c: Drive. Turing c: to my active partition.

How do I remove the Vista Boot Manager from the D: partition and re-install it to the C: drive, on the same partition where Vista is installed.

also, Is there any tool that can make it easier ?

Th

I would like to know whether this is really a feature of vista----

After dual boot installing windows vista, my primary and active partition which has windows xp was assigned drive
letter C: by default.. But when i boot into vista, the vista partition becomes C: and the xp partition some other
drive letter...

So has anyone else got the same situation?
