Thanx for this advice but 1: The dual boot is set up by scratch from nothing on the drive. 2: both OS are placed on 1 HDD, only partitioned. 3: formatting and installing XP First and then Vista is NO option in this case. I guess you mean specifically the BartPE section. Is this THE ONLY way to fix it ?

Hello A friend of mine had a system with a preinstalled Vista32 running for a half year by now. Yesterday he installed a second hdd and set up XP64 on the second drive. Now he has trouble dualconfigurating the vista32 with the xp64. At first only XP64 ran, then - after running the repair-feature (multiple times) from vista setup - he only gets the vista running again. a: is it possible vista 32 cannot detect a xp64 ? b: is it possible the physical detachment of both operating systems cause trouble ? c: a and b? best SnakeByte

Hey folks, does anyone has a working minimal configuration preset he or she can provide to me? I spent round about 5 hrs setting up an installation iso, installing on vm, reconfiguring, isoing, installing... a.s.o. without success. Or perhaps someone can figure out, why my setup runs into a dead end, rebooting on and on during the second step of installation (setting up services). I have no experience with stripping Windows to the minimum, and no knowledge of the dependencies between the different components and services (i don't even know the meaning of the dark red marked entries, or what meaning the "attention" flags on some services have... So here you find my latest preset... somewhere is a devil that screws up the installation process. ; vLite preset file ; ;#Environment: ; vLite v1.2 ; Framework 2.0.50727.1434 ; Microsoft Windows NT 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 64-bit ;
