Not necessarily true; depending on how the "running OS" was installed plays a big factor in determining how it will assign drive letters. Most OS installations that are done by booting the media take the C, but I've seen other methods initiated from within Windows that take different letters
I have (very VERY rarely) seen setup from DVD assigning a different letter than C: for the Vista volume (oh OK but --- only when existing Vista boot files and pre-Vista boot environment were already present in the rig )

That is fine...
When I am in Windows XP I want to assign Q: as the Vista Drive.
When I am in Vista I want to assign Q: as the XP drive.
In this way i can assign D: to the documents drive irrespective of which OS I am in.
I am sure there must be some way of doing it...

Better support of Kernel developers: specifically
1) When you create a new boot you need to specify (the equiv of)
bcdedit /set {current} inherit {bootloadersettings}
2) Need to be able to set up the /DBGsettings
3) need to be able to set/clear /debug

You can change the drive letters easily - just open Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc), right-click the intended drive and select "Change Drive Letter and Paths..." - click the 'Change' button to select the new drive letter. Do this in both OSes

Here's my "short list" of what I'd LIKE VBpro to do:
- During the install, look at the HDD's/partitions and see if there is a dual/multi-boot scenario, then copy the bcdedit.exe/bootsect.exe files to the XP partition (\win\sys32\) as well as to where it belongs in Vista.
- Possibly also look (By default) during the BCD backup phase at the "My Documents" or whatever we want to call it these days. I know in Vista it's sorta changed, but could VBPro "sense" what OS is running and go to that specific users "Documents" directory for BCD backup?
- Is it at all possible to have a VBPro bootdisk? (Floppy/CD) I'm not even sure why I'm asking for this one, but I've heard some requests.............. would/could it work?

Would you like to open the Events log? ... I'm afraid you won't be able to find the help you need here. ... What should I do after this? I really want to get Windows Vista out of my Toshiba laptop and run the recovery CD that it came
