Two problems resulting from failed dual boot install
I partitioned a new 200Gb SATA drive with two primary and two logical.
Installed XP (SP2) thoroughly to 1st primary including full Microsoft
security and IE 7 updates - total of 79. Then I installed new Vista Home
premium to 2nd primary partition intending a dual boot system. Installation
hung at first reboot and to even get back my XP OS I had to complete a full
repair using the XP installation disk. However, the repaired XP had reverted
to IE6 - easily fixed from PC Pro DVD. That left 77 updates to reinstall.
Every one failed. Why?
Second question is Why did the Vista installation place all the files in the
selected primary partition but then failed to boot completing the
installation?
