Hmmm
 

Hi, i am on XP now, i just put XP disc and done fixboot and fixmbr in repair console, and now only XP works lol (i do know that i can just put vista disc and do same to make vista work, but still not dual boot).

Anyway, my XP OS shows up as partition/drive (I) when i check on my computer on XP, and when i checked on vista it showed it was on (X). And my Vista is on partition/drive (C) when i look on my computer on XP and Vista.

The bcdedit looked very similar to the one in your guide, the screenshot you put up.

Thanks, hope this helps a little towards finding the solution.

Disappearing CMD prompt
 

I also have this problem!

XP installation can't see HD
 

Hi,

I had similar problem and, as you suggested, did a slipstreaming of sp2 into my XP installation disc.

Using the SP2 disc, I boot up my new notebook again. The installation halted saying that there is no disk...

Anyone can help?

I followed this great guide and got my dual boot working! However, I am afraid to install any drivers on my Windows XP, because how do I know the programs won't install the drivers to C:\windows (vista), instead of the place they *should* go-G:\Windows?

Please help me with this, and thanks for helping me get the hardest part done! :happy:

if you are in XP, they can get the default drive, in this case G, the drive selection is dynamic, not static. I have installed many drivers etc on my laptop with an XP partition of E:

Many thanks
 

Thank you for sorting it out so clearly (especially the bcdedit setup) I had installed VistaBootPro and had been getting the ntldr missing error. After following your bcdedit steps I am dualbooting fine

Anyone have a fix for this?
 

I am getting his same error. Was there a fix for this?

I am trying to open the bcedit.exe file but cannot - I right click and run as administrator, the screen flashes black and the returns to the vista screen.

What am I doing wrong.

I don't understand why this happens either, but I was able to fix it.

Type cmd into the dialog box on "Run", and hit enter. Your current directory should be "C:\".

Then type "cd windows", then type "cd system32", last simply type "bcdedit" and there you go!

Thanks Wilson. Your tutorial is great. I successfull install dual boot.
But I have one problem that my drivers for Ethernet, VGA some other are not working. Is there any way that i will redirct drivers from Vista to XP.
