| Fresh install on clean, new unformatted HDD. -Used Partition Magic [emote|(8)] to create a partition and format it using roughly half the drive. -Install XP Pro into this partition, everythings cool. -Boot off Vista DVD (ultimate 64bit) and install into the unpartitioned space. -install completes, boot menu is created and I can boot into either OS. Great. ....so, whats the problem? *I CAN SEE EACH OTHERS OS "Drive" LISTED* (as posted above the drive letters get swapped depending on which OS has the "active" C: drive) while booted up into either OS. WTF?!? I thought in a dual boot enviornment, the *INACTIVE* (OS)_partition is hidden! (and this is clearly what I want) Did I miss something here, or the method of install wrong? I consulted several FAQ's ect on how to set up a dual boot enviornment and this was the way (XP first then vista into unpartitioned space/or second pre-created partition) On other forums i'm being told everything from "thats the way it works" to "I want to be able to fly..chances are about equal getting me what I want and you too" <-- yes, an actual response. Helpful, yes?) Programs like boot magic wont work because Vista is GOING to take over the MBR. I simply want the inactive partition to be hidden when the other is active and visa-versa just like you could with XP (and any other pre- Vista OS for that matter. |
