I want to dual boot a Toshiba Satalite p350-s8842 (desktop replacement 'laptop').
It came with 2 200gb hard drives, and 2 partitions on disk0,
part0 is the factory hardware part, part1 is Vista. I split part1 into 2
parts (making an empty ntfs part to install xp in).
I'd like to have each OS see its 'system disk' as C:, and have the other's
partition hidden(invisable). Part0 is a partition type neither understands so its
not 'mounted'. disk1 has 1 part and empty ntfs part.
If I need to, I can make a 4th part to hold a boot manager so the 'IPL'
code can boot to it then have it chain to the correct OS.
*sigh*
I wish I could have bought a computer with XP.
The program I need to run wont run in Vista.
The CPU is a 64bit Intel Core 2 Duo
4gb ram, Video ATI Radeon with 256mb on board ram,
802.11b/g/n intel chipset.
I'm hoping someone can tell me what I do next to
make XP installable, I have a free Part on disk0
to target but I need to hide Vista's part from the XP
installer, so XP ends up in c: not d:.
thanks
