Re: Dual Booting

I am also a BootIt NG fan. It's the right tool for your situation.

Hi, I have three partitions, XP Pro on the first, Vista on the
second and my data on the third. The problem I am having is
accessing the data from either OP. If I change ownership in one and
then the other I cannot open files from the first and have to take
ownership again.

I have had this system running OK for months but have had to
reinstall when the motherboard blew and cannot get it running for
the life of me.

I hope somebody can help, thanks in advanced.

Colin.

For dual boot situations involvling XP and Vista I always recommend
that a third party Boot Manager program such as BootIt Next Generation
(www.bootitng.com) be used and that it be configured so that the
non-booting operating system partitions are hidden.

This is generally a good idea with all Windows multi-boot situations
but it is especially important with Windows XP and Vista as Windows XP
will destroy the System Restore information on the Windows Vista
partition if it is allowed to access it.

Good luck
