Nashy Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Sorry if its been posted already. Just wondering if I will have any problems having Vista installed on a second partition with XP on another. I won't have any bootloader problems will I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikku Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Quick question on this same topic... What if I decided to install this on a second partition that already has preexisting files on it (Not the windows xp partition, but another with other pieces of software)... Think it's safe to install it to this partition? Would the installation format the partition? Can I do this without a format to the partition? Just wondering because if that is the case I'm going to save an image of my entire harddisk before I pull this off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protoss_chaos Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I have had issues installing vista, but i can't say what is causing them my HD is split up into partitions, but vista won't install... Regardless if i start the install from XP, or via Boot DVD... Once the longhorn bootlogo comes up, the screen just goes black and stays black... nothing ever happens ... Sad :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
