If you don't want to pay for a boot manager, there are free ones available. I can't personally recommend a free one as I haven't used one of them. But the problem is if XP sees or enumerates the partition it's going to stomp on the volume snapshots created by Vista because it doesn't understand them. So your only option is to make the Vista partition completely invisible to XP. Doing this before the boot process is even turned over to XP is the safest way as that guarantees XP won't see the partition. You also need a solution that allows you to unhide the Vista partition when you want to boot into Vista. So a boot manager that supports hiding other partitions that contain the Vista installation when booting into XP and then unhides it when you choose to boot into Vista is an effective way to get around the problem. The other solution would be for MS to supply an update to XP that fixes the problem. For that you'll have to wait, with no commitment from MS that they are ever going to provide such an update for XP. -- Tom Porterfield |
