Adding XP to already installed Vista / Triple Boot even?!?
Long story cut short is:
HDD died, went to re-install, could not find XP packet anywhere, so divided new 80Gb HDD into equal NTFS and FAT32 partitions and stuck Vista on the NTFS partition. Now found XP, want to keep Vista until it expires though. What's the easiest way? I've seen various guides involving gparted etc, but they always involve a fresh install. How can I do this, and keep what I've already done with Vista? Any ideas very appreciated!

Hi,
A boot manager is what would best serve you, something like BootIT NG (www.terabyteunlimited.com) or VistaBootPro (www.pro-networks.org/vistabootpro). -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Jamie Furlong" wrote in message ...

This article should give you a little insight.
Windows Vista no longer starts after you install an earlier version of the Windows operating system in a dual-boot configuration http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919529/en-us "Rick Rogers" wrote: Hi, A boot manager is what would best serve you, something like BootIT NG (www.terabyteunlimited.com) or VistaBootPro (www.pro-networks.org/vistabootpro). -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Jamie Furlong" wrote in message ...
