OK, that makes sense now. smilenod

Yes you can have both but all will be lost from your previous state. Do a clean install of XP, then go to XP's disk management and create a new partition where you will send Vista to, assuming your hard drive isn't partitioned yet.

No DON'T do this yet... we may be able to get it back... Grav!ty has a method that can be used to fix this so don't hurry into to it smilenod

That would be good to know as I usually slash and burn, having proper backups of course and having my drive partitioned from the start. I have never lost a byte to software issues. Good luck. smilenod

Either way, you ended up installing over the top of XP; not saying you did this accidentally or purposely, just that it happened. If you are comfortable with working with your computer in "recovery mode" type of operation, let us know, as there is sort of a "fix" for this, but it doesn't work for everyone.
