| | Dual boot - How to hide XP System Drive Hi My disk has 4 partitions: 86MB Primary - DELL Utility (EISA Configuration). 24GB Primary - Windows XP System Drive (C-drive under XP, D-drive under Vista) 34GB Primary - Windows Vista System Drive (C-driver under Vista, hidden under XP) 34GB Extended - Data partition (D-driver under XP, E-drive under Vista) Now the question is.... how do I hide the Windows XP System Drive when I'm booted in to Vista? Oh boy... do I miss the days when we had the OS/2 boot manager. /Thomas |
