Dual Boot .....

Can't say I had any problems with dual booting, installed to Disk 1 Partition 1 without any worries, now on start up I can choose between Vista or XP, no editing of anything required.

Although took me a minute to realise that Vista assigned different drive letters to my other partition with XP on it.

I think the key factor is simply not to install to the same physical drive as XP.

Still a few probs though, Audigy 2 won't install (tried the trick mentioned previously in this thread, didn't work for me) Scanner (Epson Perfection 1670) has no driver either. Also TV card is installed with a BDA Driver instead of a WDM, so no progs work with it!! All say no card found!

Anyone know of Tuner software that uses the BDA Driver with an Asus (Phillips) 7134 TV Card ?? (don't say Media Portal either, didn't work).
