Any problem w XP to Vista to XP?
If you don't have dual boot, it usually means that the Vista installation did not see your XP drive (was it unplugged?) if so that's just fine. You should be able to boot from bios to the I would sure appreciate any help here, my XP Pro is my main OS and I desperately need to be able to get back to it. Thanks, Don.

Barbara barb...@postmanlane.com microsoft public windowsme general Thanks for the tips on upgrading to xp - I don't need the added functionality of xp, or do a clean install (or a dual-boot install). XP is very different to ME, and takes some getting used to! The site that SD is thinking of can be found

should I upgrade to Windows XP?
I have a dual-boot system with XP on another partition, and the card reader works fine there. It still mis-identifies it as a 9-in-one reader, but it works. I can always boot into XP to transfer pix from my SD card, but that's a hassle. And I have to remember to unplug the reader before booting back to Vista.

The "Picasa shows me a folder twice" duplicate bug
Since it didn't seem to be responding, I manually re-started it and it did not go to the boot selection screen. It went directly to XP Pro and has ever since. Also, I see an addidional drive ("D") in XP's My Computer, presumably Vista. What do I need to do to get Vista back and dual boot?

98 after XP with NTFS primary partition
Do you dual boot vista and XP? does it work in XP? Curt "GaWd" <GaWd@discussions. microsoft.com> wrote in message news:20C06D18-6307-41A8-9A4D-9071C3CF34AF@microsoft.com. This seems to be a widespread problem so I'm not sure why Microsoft can't come up with a solution. Anyway, I'm going back to XP today.

Installed Vista dual boot, think I screwed up!
I don't need to. I did that back in 2000 with Windows 2000 Advanced Server and compared it to Mandrake 7.2. I've been with Linux ever since. What Mrs. Phist _wants_, because she sees it's what is _productive_, is a dual boot Linux/XP machine. The only reason she wants XP is so she can play her games.

Vista isn't THAT slow
Went back to XP Pro. * Can't install low level drivers that are not digitally signed on Vista x64. There used to be workarounds but they have stopped working since the recent updates. Not sure how much of a problem that might be to me. I'd have to research my hardware etc. Looks like I can wait a little longer.

Dual Boot-clarification
As you can see from my pic, BCD store only shows Vista, but can't see XP because I unplugged the drive when I installed Vista. Well it means that you can use a standard boot menu with as few as just one new registry key and thereafter not be concerned about dual-booting any more than you would any other two

Reinstall XP on a Dual-boot with Ubuntu?
XP faced similar issues when introduced, with intransigent hardware manufacturers refusing to support older products.. one can't blame them as they have to generate new sales somehow, I dual boot with XP and now need to do a reinstall of Vista and it is a PIA to reconfigure my dual boot configuration.

MB Upgrade - Did not go as planned...
See the post I just made in the vista.hardware_devices newsgroup, Subject: Can't dual boot back to xp need help, started by "xp-vista-xp". The basic idea is simple enough, but there are so many possible variations that it takes a lot of words to cover them all. I've been dual-booting for nearly a decade and,

Any response from Microsoft on SP1 issues??
Even better is the issue of Vista restore points in a dual boot XP / Vista system. Booting into XP wipes out the Vista restore points, which is ludicrous. If you're in XP and need to browse to a desktop in Vista Documents and Settings to grab a file or shortcut, you can't get in because of permissions issues,

Windows 98 and its DOS mode option
To get the best from Vista, the computer will need at least 128mb dedicated video memory and 2gb RAM. You can go back to XP if Vista does not suit, but what you can't do is run the original XP and the Vista upgrade as either dual boot or on individual machines. Your mother will probably get along with Vista better

“The Stages of Linux Grief”帖引发的讨论
I went back to XP since I planned to dual boot and was going to delete the volume and then format (again)--I didn't delete the volume the first time because you usually don't need to and I noticed more than 10GB on the drive so I restarted and Vista booted up and finished setup. A little unorthodox but I'm used to

Dual Boot
1. You don't uninstall an operating system. You can do: a. A clean install with Ultimate, in which case nothing of XP will be left. b. A dual-boot with XP, in which case you will have a choice of which operating system to boot into. 2. Maybe. You need to check on the various programs' websites to see if the
