XP on 1 drive, Vista on the other.

I can't use it as primary, or even stay booted in Vista for more than 5 - 10 minutes as I can't get my net running in it.

I tried dual boot without clean install and after the boot menu it just hanged. Not sure if its related to installing it without formatting the drive first. Worked when I did a clean install.

Mine's running on a:

CPU: Pentium IV 3.2GHZ

MEM: 512DDR (gonna get more soon :D)

HD: IDE 6700 20GB

VGA: Nvidia FX 5700 LCD

SND: Audigy Platinum with KX drivers

running fine, a little bit slugish but its ok :)

With the nVidia beta drivers, looks quite nice, but it's hard to install all your drivers or software, even with WinXP Compatibility!

A bit slow, hope they'll fix it.

P4 3.0c

1 gb ram

80gb WD

My question is that On my own computer I want to run dual boot. But this is my drives layout:

c: 10gb windows XP

d: 50gb movies and music

g: 60gb apps and stuff

Now My question is, is it possible of installing vista in my G drive without formatting or making a new partition with partition magic or whatnot. And if I do will my c: partition be hidden from me when in vista with G and when in win x(c:) will my G partition be hidden

any help is appreciated

I have tried dual boot with xp with no luck. I have 3 hds each 160gb and I tried to install on a small partition of my third drive (secondary IDE slave, two partitions). Install started slow and on reboot it would hang, everytime I tried. Changed all kinds of settings in bios with no luck. Then I tried to install on second HD, primary IDE slave (one partition), also on this one with no luck.

then installed on vmware 5 and worked like a charm. It is actually pretty fast. Only downside is that there are no transparency effects. Sound doesn't work either - neither with the onboard or the sblive, even after all the tricks people posted here. It installs the drivers but no sound (vmware thinks there is sound). Good for now to test it.

i was wondering if also with the spec's, you could let us know are you using the 32 or 64 bit? Vista has 64 bit os doesn't it?

Go into DevMan and force the Standard VGA adapter, reboot and install the original Microsoft LDDM ATI driver.  That should fix it.  I had a similar problem with my GF 6600GT and that fixed me right up.

How exactly do you force it to use that driver?
