| Vista Dual Boot problem I''ve got a dual boot XP / Vista setup. Both on the same drive, 2 logical partitions. I added a new drive to my system and also removed a couple of drives to use in another machine. For some reason this caused the Vista drive letter to change from C: to E: It now doesnt work properly. Still boots OK but cant logon etc. Disks are shown as C: XP and D: VISTA in XP C: XP and E: VISTA in Vista Any ideas how I can get it to be C: again ? Thanks This is what BCDEdit says: Code: Windows Boot Manager
--------------------
identifier {bootmgr}
device partition=C:
description Windows Boot Manager
locale en-US
inherit {globalsettings}
default {ntldr}
displayorder {ntldr}
{current}
toolsdisplayorder {memdiag}
timeout 10
Windows Legacy OS Loader
------------------------
identifier {ntldr}
device partition=C:
path \ntldr
description Microsoft Windows XP
Windows Boot Loader
-------------------
identifier {current}
device partition=E:
path \Windows\System32\winload.exe
description Windows Vista
osdevice partition=E:
systemroot \WINDOWS

| Smell my cheese! | Have you tried cotrol panel> administrative tools>computer management>Disk Management & try & re-assign the drive letters. You'll have to do it in both o/s's. Not saying it will work, but worth a stab. I have 32bit XP Pro & 64bit Vista Ultimate dual booting ok. Both as c drive. then THIS, THIS and THIS and you need a HEXUS T-Shirt ...Size matters -> Sig Sizes Last edited by 0iD; 03-05-2007 at 07:01 AM.. |

| I'm sure before service pack 1 came out for XP you could change the driver letter of the boot drive. I always had the problem that when i reinstalled windows it would change my drive letters round which I found really annoying. To get round it I disconnect my extra drives when I do a reinstall. Bit of a pain really. |
