Hi all. I have a dual boot of Windows Vista and Windows XP on separate partitions on my hard drive. Well, the partition table is allocated as the accompanying image illustrates. I have the system recovery partition, Vista partition and then a data partition. I am unable to make the XP partition available in under Vista. It is completely nonexistent under Computer Management|Disk Management. I loaded Acronis Disk Director and assigned it a drive later but this did not work. So, I want to assign the XP drive a letter and set it as active in Windows Vista.. Does anybody know how to accomplish this?
Thank you in advance.
