ok, why is it so hard to get windows vista to recognize another OS? I installed Windows Vista. We all know Vista is new and some programs dont work well or at all on it. So i want XP on here as well. I install Windows Vista, create 2 other partitions a 50gb and a 20gb for backup. I install Windows XP on the 50gb partition. All it loads is Windows XP, it wont give me an option. So i boot from the vista cd and run the startup repair tool. Now it only loads Vista. How the hell do i fix this? Ive tried BootIt and Boot Mgic with no luck. Both partitions are on the same hard drive. The partitions go in this order: Vista (80GB), XP (50GB), backup (20GB). Also partition magic comes up with an error and wont let me edit my partitions. Along with that it shows 2 empty spots. Instead of 1 spot that sais unallocated, theres two spots one says free space and the other unallocated. I cant delete eithe rof them to merge with eachother. One is 8mb which is what Bootit used.
Please help.
