My C: Vista drive 'now' does not show up in XP My Computer (as mentioned
below) but is still shown in disk management. (from within XP)
In another post "Red bar for D drive" someone suggested to unassign a drive
letter in "Computer Management>Drive Manager" to hide the annoying red bar.
I don't see how to do that but it got me wondering if there might be some
trick to perform from XP disk management. From XP I turned off indexing of
the Vista drive but it could not access attributes of various Vista C: files
with "boot" in the filename. Now I notice that indexing is OFF for my Vista
drive when viewing this setting from within Vista. I don't remember if I
intentionally turned it off or if it's now off because I turned it off from
within XP.
So... I'm just throwing this out there to spark better ideas than I have.
I'm a bit nervous about trail and erroring with the disk management
settings.
