also have a guide for those who already have Vista installed and want to
add XP for dual booting.

Hi Peter,

You can use this tutorial to prevent XP from being able to see Vista,
but Vista will still be able to see XP.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi,

Is there a way of installing XP on it's own drive on my Vista machine
but without each OS seeing the other, to save drive letters, accidental
trashing etc ?

TIA,
Peter

Your welcome Peter. I do not believe Disk Director or similar program
has the option to block a OS from seeing another installed OS.

I was thinking of using it to hide the partitions like it used to be
done with Partition Magic ?
