First, I would like to say that I did try to read some of the instructions, including the "Drive Letters and Numbers" section of that section, and also some posts here at the forum. But I'm still a bit hesitant to go on with the 'fix' of "How-To: Hide Vista Partition from XP with NeoGrub!".
Part of the problem is that I had someone else set up my dual-boot configuration, so I'm not sure what software was used and how they went about doing it.
PLUS, I've got 4 partitions in just one drive, which left me a bit confused as to the right drive letters and numbers sequence to use.
What I CAN tell you is that I believe Vista is the primary boot OS (is there a way to find out which OS is the primary boot device?), and that I've got 4 partitions on one single drive. Further, when I boot into Vista it reads....... Vista (c) , - XP (D), - XP (E), ...and..., Vista (F).
Could someone help me with how to go about and set the correct (hdx,y) sequence on the "NeoGrub Bootloader" for my specific configuration?, And finally hide the vista partion from XP (I want to keep those precious restore points in vista).
Thank you for your time, much appreciated.
PS: By the way, at start up, I am given the choise to boot into Vista (which is highlighted and boots to automatically, or "Earlier version of Windows".
