Re: setup dual boot?

It might be better if you start the Vista installation from the Vista DVD (ie
not from within XP) as this will allow which ever OS you are booting from to
run from the "c" drive (XP will be on "c" when it is running and Vista on "c"
when it is running - the physical drives stay the same, just the nominclature
the drives is changed to reflect the operating system being used. Doing it
this way means that the operating system that is booting is always going to
show up as "c" which is good for programs that need to start from the c
drive. This is the way I setup dual boot and it works like a charm.
