XP Dual Boot Weirdness

Hi,

Having a few odd problems dual booting XP.

We have a pre built XP image that we distribute to our PCs which is working correctly but I'm having issues getting it to dual boot.

If I setup the 40gb disk with a 30gb/8gb (give or take because of the MBR + PT) the main image doesn't work.. it doesn't even get to the XP splash screen. The image seems to take up about 25gb of the 30gb partition, maybe a little more. Does XP have some sort of threshold re space on the disk which may stop it working? Like I said, putting the image onto the full 38gb partition seems to work.

Any ideas?

Neil.

You put one image on one partition. When that partition is 30Gig, it doesn't work, where's the dualboot bit ? Did I miss something ?

Maybe the Pagefile is removed from the image and fills the remaining Gigs at boot ?
