OK-well, I am confused now? This is what I expect to happen:
Quote from another forum user above:Whenever I`ve done a dual boot, each system shows up as C: and the other as D: are you deleting the partition b4 you do the install?
I have tried "not" assigning a letter to HidsysP, I have tried assigning a letter to hidSysP - in both cases when I boot to xp The hidden sys part has C:\ as it's letter and I cannot change it with DMgmt or partition wizard. I know it doesn't matter what Xp is assigned to during install, but I sure don't want it as I:\ or H:\ or whatever when I am done. Many apps (as I know you know) look for ther C:\ drive. So all I want is what I posted above C: and D:\ as the sys partions depending which OS I am in.
I still haven't had time to try suggestions about creating the partition during the XP install and/or disconnecting my other 2 HD's.
Tonight, hopefully I will have time. It may not sem like it, but I actually understand about letter assignment, etc. I use to do this for a living, although it's been 8 years since I have. I just build my own machines and record audio/music and do a little business stuff on xp. I use W7 x64 for my Digital Audio Workstation.
Bottom line is it shouldn't be this much of a hassle. I am ready to re-install everything and "not" let w7 create the stupid hidden Sys Part. I will always have boot disks, I do not need a partition for repairs. To me it's for beginners. Which is actually what I feel like now
Thanks again
