I have a system with 3 SATA drives (300GB each).
Drive 1 - OS drives (and two logical data partitions for misc) OS's go as follows: XP (hd0,1), Vista (hd0,2) and Win7 (hd0,3).
Drive 2 - PageFile1 on Primary Parition and the rest is a Logical partition with all of my data (Tools/Utilities/User Data)
Drive 3 - PageFile2 on Primary Partition and the rest is all a Logical parition with all of my data (Games/Vids)
I used to have Acronis OS selector but I got tired of the darn MBR ERROR 3 that happens continuously with that application, forcing a repair of the installation almost daily. So I moved to EasyBCD.
At that time I only had XP and VIsta installed and all worked fine. However I did miss the hiding of my OS partitions from the booted OS I was in. Anyhow, I installed Windows7 beta on a new partition (hd0,3) on my Drive 1. All runs fine.. or will once I get this answer.
I was looking for a way to hide the Vista OS partition from the XP paritition and I found that NeoSmart has the cool tool "Hide and Seek" [HnS]. I downloaded it and installed it in my Vista OS. I chose not only my Vista partition but also my Win7 partition (as Vista) to hide from XP.
Well now the issue is that I can not get back to Windows 7. I wanted to add a new entry to the menu.lst but it specifically warns you in the header to "NOT MODIFY" the file.
So, What should I do?
I would like to do the following:
1) Hide the Vista and Win7 partitions from the XP OS when booted into XP OS.
2) Hide the XP and Win7 partitions from the VIsta when booted into the Vista OS.
3) Hide the Vista and XP partitions from Win7 when booted into the Win7 OS.
Is HnS the proper tool for this? If so, than how would I proceed? and.. can I edit the menu.lst file (and what would I add?)?
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. It is very much appreciated.![Wink :wink: :wink:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
