    Dual Boot Disable other partition from being use.


    I set up my computer to dual boot windows 7 (c:) and windows xp (d:). I want it to set it up so that when im on one os the other one is disable or not visable. I don't want one os to be able to modify anything on the other partition. Is there anyone to do it? Thanks you very much. Your input is highly appreciated.

    In Win7 Disk Management, remove the drive letter for XP.

    In XP Disk Mgmt, removed the drive letter for Win7.

    See if that works as you want it to.
