Laptop Setting up drivers in XP after Dual boot set up in Vista


Hi - recently set up dual boot on my Compaq laptop. Original OS is Vista, the added OS is Windows XP Professional.

Dual boot up was successful and I can access both without errors or issues.

However, when I log into XP Pro none of my USBs work and I need to add my drivers again so XP works fully with CD/DVD, USBs etc.

I don't have Vista installation CD - installation/recovery tools/drivers are on separate partition.

Any advice on how I can operate fully when I boot up into XP Professional would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Browser Netscape Answer to your question how to let the XP work together with Vista.


Answer to your question how to let the XP work together with Vista.

You Need to Create Wide area network in your sytem OR a LAN where you can share Printer USB and other peripheral devices and LAN allows users to share things and also your USB will work and the Conflict between Vista and XP will be resolved .

Plus you can go ahead and Create a Sharing IP Network So that any time you need to sort your Internet Problems you can do it from the LAN one connection being Shared .

You need to Buy a LAN or NETWORK CARD to enable LAN in your {PC .
