| | Hello mtg, and welcome to Seven Forums. You could use OPTION TWO in the tutorial below in each OS instead to hide the drive letter as it shows in Computer for the other OS. System Restore Points - Stop XP Dual Boot Delete - Vista Forums Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | Strange. Did you restart the computer afterwards to apply? If so, then you can give METHOD TWO in the tutorial below to hide the other drive letter in each OS instead. Drive - Hide or Unhide - Vista Forums |

| | For that, you would need to boot into XP instead, open the My Computer window to see what drive letter Windows 7 has (should be D ), then hide say D while in XP. |
