Problems Dual booting.
I have 4 harddrives. 2 SATA 2 and 2 IDE. 1 is my primary with Vista 64 Ultimate. The second is the one that holds my License codes (I don't ever want to touch this drive). My third is blank (IDE). 4th is a back up of everything. I want to install Win XP SP2 on my second drive. I can't describe how much I love XP. Anyway, I disconnected all drives apart from #3. I formatted and then installed XP on the partition. Once completed I took the disk out and comp restarted. After I tried to boot the computer it would load the first page (List harddrives and boot options etc). After that, my monitor would display "No Signal" and the computer would restart and repeat. Why is it doing this? Why won't it continue the setup for WinXP? -- rewindurmind

Problems Dual booting.
I just finished setting up a dual boot of XP Pro on a machine I had first
installed Vista Ultimate 32 on. See my thread Multiple Vista boot options 10/28/08. John Barnetts write-up helped a lot, but read the whole thread for the full saga. Here is his write-up: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/install...ning_vista.htm Ed "rewindurmind" wrote in message ... I have 4 harddrives. 2 SATA 2 and 2 IDE. 1 is my primary with Vista 64 Ultimate.
