| | Trying dual boot xp-vista: disk management console: Can't seepartition? I have vista and trying to make it dual boot with xp. I used disk management console to shrink the vista partition and make a second partition. Then when I tried to install xp (blue installation screen) It only shows the vista c: drive (unknown drive). So it's only letting me to format the vista drive. What I want is to install to the second partition J: I even tried to rename it to B: drive, but still does not show up. Why would that be? thanks. |
