    how to install vista/xp on D with win7 on C


    finally after so many problems with games,which are not using full screen.i have tried everything...but it didnt solve.
    finally i have thought to do something,i have window 7 on C as my main system but i want to install vista or xp on D.i want to know,what i must do.cuz i know something...if i install XP on C and 7 on D,it does not need any changes at all,it will do all itself and in start,it will ask which windows to run,but in this case when i have windows 7 on C and i want to install vista or 7 on D,i need to do some changes in boot.ini i guess or use some software.

    kindly help me.

    If you installed Vista and it didn't correctly configure the dual boot, it needs to be added using the Add/remove tab of EasyBCD.

    But first, please post back a screenshot of your full Disk Management drive map, as well as the front-panel listings given by EasyBCD, so that we can advise you the exact steps and settings.

    Use Snipping Tool in Start Menu to make screenshot, attach file using paper clip in Reply box.
