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.

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.

Where did it say that?

Wow! I keep missing the meaty parts of the discussion. Oh, well.

@jd2066: good teamwork! Thanks for helping out again.
@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.

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. See the last post at http://neosmart.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1360

@raphoenix: No. Windows XP and Windows Vista don't make a Recovery Partition. Computer Manufactours put Recovery Partitions on the computers.

jd2066,

Appreciate the response. 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) :) :)

Could you pick up on the (Slow Printer Thread by bg) ?? I can't help him.

Much Thanks,
Rick P.

jd2066,

Appreciate you looking at Topic.

You can see I promised bg to get him some help but it is tough to diagnose a network problem which one didn't build himself.

Thanks For Trying,

Rick P.
