| Guest | Dumm question from Newbie, about Mutli-boot I have searched, but I guess in all the wrong places. I am right now downloading Vista, which will be installed on a secondary hard drive. I want to set up so that I can still boot to XP, if desired. Somebody show me what is staring me in the face, because I just cant see it. Thanks |

I've got XP, 2003, and Vista all loaded on one partition and it works fine. |
