 go to reboot twice then install XP it comes up with the blue XP installer and i tell it to install on the New partition D: it copies all the install files then reboots to do nothing at all! no XP Setup comes up to actualy install the OS, i can recover it back to vista and see the XP install files on the new drive so i formated all and tried again to get the same problem.
 
 any help would be awesome as i'm stuck as hell!

  Hi, I have the same problem. My partitions are 100GB for Vista (C

 and 100GB for XP (X

. After the file copying portion of the XP installation, when the PC restarts, a black screen saying "Error loading Operating System" appears. 
I tried several times form scratch but had no success. If I install XP on the first partition it install fine. 
Is there a relation with the partition size? 
Thanks for helping.
