Away


Sorry guys...

As you may have guess I have not been around alot recently, and I won't be for a while

Needless to say I will still be popping in, but I will not be giving 'opinions' and wont be taking part in 'chats', I will just be trying to help others with issues etc.

Don't think less of me

We will never think less of you. You are one of our most knowledgeable members when it comes to computers, especially with hardware issues. Like always, we’ll be calling on you when we get stuck on an issue.

How could we think less of you crabby? So, you aren't going to try to help with the triple boot issue? Have fun with your project. We'll keep a light on in the window. Well, on second thought, we'll just hold your place here. We do miss you (some).

Triple booting is very easy to do... I'll let you guys look around for the best method Gotta let the chicks fly the nest at some point HINT: There is a certain installation order to it...

Tweet tweet. Note that we are not talking about betas. Is your comment still the same? The three involved are XP, XP Upgraded to Ultimate, and Ultimate cleanly installed. Also, a requirement is that each be on a partition on the same drive.

It will be fine.. just install XP first, else it will all go horribly wrong. You will have the issue of only 1 boot sector, but we have talked that to death anyway I believe it will work oas follows...

1) XP install creates boot.ini
2) 2nd XP install adds to boot.ini and makes itself the default (which can be edited as I am sure you know)
3) The ultimate upgrae will edit the boot.ini and create the new style boot sector, showing both itself and the old xp with in it.
4) Clean install of vista will replace the new boot script with 2 Vista boot options and an old xp boot option.

It really should work
