Unplugged XP Drive for Vista Setup: Can't Dual Boot to XP
Thank you. I couldn't make out the photo. When I opened it it was pretty blurry. I'll give it a try in a few. MY only concern is that this is an HP my wife bought me as a gift. Not particularly powerful, but better than my old Dell. I yanked out the HDD that had Vista on it. put in a new drive and installed XP, so I could run some programs Vista refused to handle. Now I've got them both back in, and I'm already tired of going into BIOS to switch the HDD I want to boot from.
Another quick question. When I boot to XP the drive letters are:
Disk 0 HP (D: ) Recovery (E: )
Disk 1 (C: )
When I boot to Vista Yhe drive letters are:
Disk 0 HP (C: ) Recovery (D: )
Disk 1 (F: )
Is that going to make a difference when I set up the dual boot? I'm still having some driver issues in XP. I can't seem to find the drivers for a PCI Device or a Universal Serial Bus Controler. THe system came with the Media readers, and some HP swapable drive.

If your situation is the same as at the top of the thread you should be fine following those directions. To improve the quality of the images just maximize them and then click them once
