dual boot ??

[BlackAdder]

Guys, I installed Vista upgrade over my XP Pro ...is there any way now to reinstall XP Pro to one of my other hard drives ( I run 3) and not disturb my fresh Vista install ????? Thanks for any help...by the way my F@H GPU client output has dropped in half under Vista, I was doing 2 WU's a day now only one....that SUX, thus the need to get XP going again.

I would have installed vista last. I believe it uses a different boot loader than XP. unless you can boot up in a repair mode for vista, and fixmbr on it lol.

I am well triple booting. I have Vista on a 40GB hard drive, and XP Pro and XP 64 on a 120 GB. so far no issues with that.

maybe if you unplug your vista HD, and then reinstall XP, it might work better.

I agree with PCManiac,

XP first then Vista. The dual booting is all handled correctly.

I agree with that, what I did was upgrade my XP Pro to Vista and now want to install XP again in one of my other drives...are there good dual boot or partition programs which might help??

I did it before....I unplugged the HD for vista installed xp in another HD hooked the HD for vista back in and reinstalled vista as an upgrade on top of vista

Don't forget to update BOOT.INI with the paths and a menu screen
