Default installing XP onto VISTA machine



-------- Original-Nachricht --------

Have HP Pavioin with VISTA, one physical drive (C with four partitions on
it.
C: is the one with VISTA
D: recovery
E and F - logical partitions for data storage.
Want to install XP into one of the existong partitions.
However when the installation process come to the screen to select a
partition it shows no partition at all. Instead it shows four things which
look like drive placeholders, each saying that there is no drive in it



The partition to you want install XP MUST be a primary partition, not a
logical one.
