King of Doom

I am a legal owner of 2 software licenses for RoboForm. I don't think I can browse without it. Go figure! Don't tell me Wand is as good as RoboForm!!

It is really easy: On my system my main drive has two partitions. One for XP and the other for Vista. My XP installation is on C: and my Vista installation is on F: I copied the F:\Windows\System32\winload.exe (Vista Installation) file to C:\Windows\System32 (XP Installation) Then I edited the boot.ini file as follows: Original boot.ini: [boot loader] timeout=10 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSOFF multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows Longhorn" /NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSOFF /FASTDETECT /USENEWLOADER New Boot.ini: [boot loader] timeout=10 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSOFF /USENEWLOADER multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows Longhorn" /NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSOFF /FASTDETECT /USENEWLOADER As you can see I just added the /USENEWLOADER switch to the XP Installation. And changed: default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOWS To: default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS This will also get you down to only 1 boot screen. Kind Regards

No when I do the setup from windows that option is greyed out, and when I try to do a install from dvd it says that i could not get any information about my disks (i can't get to that page) The Vista does not have a upgrade option. So, if you start the Vista in Windows, it will try to load the Vista with the "Load Drivers" greyed out. Also, it won't upgrade your Windows, but rather create a sub-directy called Windows.old and put all the old files in the Windows, Program Files and Document and Setting directories in the Windows.old directory. Basically, no upgrade but a new install with all the old stuff still remianing. Install the Vista from a bootable disk. You will find that it does not show up any SATA RAID drives, but the "Load Drivers" is avaible now (not greyed out). Load your drivers and you will see your SATA RAID Drives. Install on seperate drive thus keeping your old Windows, thus having dual operating systems. Hope this help. All the Silicon Valley SATA drivers are available on the net. If you still can't find them, then let me know and I will upload them for you.
