    Well according to that screen shot all you need to hide is the W7 boot drive G: as it does not show the 100 Mb system boot partition which is strange because whenever I have installed W7 it has always created a 100 Mb boot drive and the Main C: drive.

    From that screen shot I see you have Two hard drives, one with 3 partitions with the XP and W7 OS on and another hard drive with 2 Partitions on.

    If you have followed the tutorial correctly and hidden Drive G: then XP should not see W7.

    Any thing further than that I am at a loss to explain and will need someone with more knowledge than me.

    Sorry that I can't be of more use.

    Thanks for your feedback. I have posted below what is in the Registry and this setting doesn't work. The Win 7 installation does have a small partition which was created at the time Win7 was installed. All the other partitions you mentioned are valid.

    I will carry on experiementing and post back here if I find a fix for this.

    Thank you very much for your help.
