...having problems installing and running Vista on a single HD with no other OS on another drive. Be happy for now, that you can get it going at all. Are you sure Vista supports what you want to do ?
I am attempting to operate my computer with Vista and XP on seperate hard drives and booting the os that I need at that time. However, when connected at the same time, no matter which one I am booting from vista affects the booting of both. Initially, when only one is connected, each boots fin. But when I connect them both for the first time, XP will not boot and I have to disconnect the Vista hard drive and then boot XP from the last known good config. Vista is another mess. When I attempt to boot vista with the XP hard drive connected I cannot boot and get an error message that something is wrong and I should attempt to repair using the vista cd. When I do, I am only able to get limited functions in the vista os. Any ideas?
