Well that answers that. Everyone in the group appears to hold High Reverence for the Vista Recovery Partition and I knew I never saw it on XP or the Pre-release Vista versions. Began to think something had changed with Vista SP1 and per you guy's conversation above. I always make all my partitions Primary when partitioning so I had a hard time following the thread. Thought the old Fdisk way of having a secondary partition had gone by the wayside a long time ago (LOL) :) :)</p> <p>Could you pick up on the (Slow Printer Thread by bg) ?? I can't help him. </p> <p>Much Thanks,<br /> Rick P. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problem-at-new-simple-volume/page/4#post-39884 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 21:38:05 +0000 whs 39884@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>They make the recovery partition because they are cheap and don't want to ship a CD. They expect you to burn your own. They are just squatting in the Vista data partition. Once you burned the CD (or better said 2 DVDs), you can scrap it and reuse it. But most of the time it's not worth it because they are so small (only about 10GBs) - unless you have a problem with the 4 partition limitation for other reasons. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problem-at-new-simple-volume/page/4#post-39875 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 20:57:38 +0000 Justin 39875@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@raphoenix: No. Windows XP and Windows Vista don't make a Recovery Partition. Computer Manufactours put Recovery Partitions on the computers. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problem-at-new-simple-volume/page/4#post-39857 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 19:45:09 +0000 raphoenix 39857@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@jd2066,<br /> @ScottW,</p> <p>Does VISTA absolutely have to have or make a (Recovery Partition) ??</p> <p>During MS testing (several years ago), I don't remember having one.</p> <p>Rick P. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problem-at-new-simple-volume/page/4#post-39805 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 18:10:48 +0000 Justin 39805@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I just found out I was incorrect about the logical partition. As long as you have SP2 you can install Windows XP to a logical partition.

I called my freind and he gave me the link to this ISO of xp pro (just to test and see if the problem was my computer, not the cd, and it worked). so now i can narrow down that it is the disk's fault, nothing hardware. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problem-at-new-simple-volume/page/4#post-31569 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 07:22:31 +0000 ScottW 31569@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Wow! I keep missing the meaty parts of the discussion. Oh, well.</p> <p>@jd2066: good teamwork! Thanks for helping out again.<br /> @cobija: now that the partitioning is done, you couldn't ask for a better helper than jd2066. He knows all about dual booting and I don't. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problem-at-new-simple-volume/page/4#post-31566 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 06:28:31 +0000 cobija 31566@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I booted another copy of XP that I had. and it just blinked a few times and said that. I will be back. Im gonna try it one more time. this time i cleaned the disc very very well =] </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problem-at-new-simple-volume/page/4#post-31561 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 06:17:14 +0000 Justin 31561@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Where did it say that? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problem-at-new-simple-volume/page/4#post-31556 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 06:04:01 +0000 cobija 31556@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>ok. i tried my other disc and it was just saying something about SATA. it was like</p> <p>SATA1: Installed<br /> SATA2: Installed<br /> SATA3: None<br /> SATA4: None </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problem-at-new-simple-volume/page/4#post-31552 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 05:48:53 +0000 Justin 31552@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Weather you install XP first or second should n't have any effect on the Blue Screen error. I think there is something else causing the error like a bad disc or something. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problem-at-new-simple-volume/page/4#post-31548 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 05:45:39 +0000 cobija 31548@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>still doesnt work. while it didnt work, i thought of a crazy thing to do. If there was a way to backup anything (i dont want to buy any external hard drive) And just have a blank hard drive and install XP first then install vista after. but that would be a very long process. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problem-at-new-simple-volume/page/4#post-31544 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 05:31:37 +0000 cobija 31544@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I am trying to clean it right now and will try it agian. For some reason, something made an unauthorized change to vista so I had to repair and do system restore. But i will try it and get back to you soon. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/problem-at-new-simple-volume/page/4#post-31535 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 05:02:34 +0000 Justin 31535@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>According to <a href='http://www.hojohnlee.com/hacks/2006/06/20/winxp-session3_initialization_failed-installation-fix/'>http://www.hojohnlee.com/hacks/2006/06/20/winxp-session3_initialization_failed-installation-fix/</a> it can be "small smudges on the CD surface" too.</p> <p>&gt; Is there a way to set it up without going into booting options?<br /> I'm not sure what you mean.
