Help. I Installed Win Xp On My Vista System In The Same Drive-c. Problem! by webrichy: 7:25am On Aug 29, 2008
Help. I downloaded Win XP on my Vista System in the same Drive-C. Please, can someone help me on what to do. I use Dell Precision M65. I installed WinXp on my Window Vista Business Edition. i was advised that i can use another window, that i can install it on the same drive as the default window, which I did, now my programs and files are all gone. My biggest problem is that after I had uninstalled the Xp and installed a copy of Vista Business Edition, my system Screen/Videa is misty/Cloudy and I can see clearly on it. Please, any suggestions on what i can do. I just downloaded a NVIDIA Quadro FX350 Video driver from dell site, but it could not correct the proble. Any help or assistance or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

It's seems that u have gotten the system crapped up, dont worry as there is always a solution. Installation of windows vista and xp has always been a nightmare for many people. To install both softwares, the easier path is.

Make 2 partitions on your harddrive
Install windows xp first on one of the partitions
Then install windows vista (FULL EDITION) on the other partition.
make sure the partition for windows vista meets the minimum requirements.

If as u've said u already have windows vista installed, u can still create a partition out of the harddrive, u can use windows management to do that or u use a software such as partition magic or preferably EasyBCD. it is graphical and as the name implies very easy.

if these does not solve your problem or u need more info u can mail me. browsedavid@yahoo.com
