Hi,
I installed acronis os selector on my new pc.
I have now set it up so that I have 1 xp pro partition, and one xp home
partition (it's actually so I've got direct x 9 on the home part, and 8
on the pro part - I've found a few odd bits need dx 8, and won't work
with dx9...)
q1: on booting, the os selector bott up screen will only give me the
option of loading xp home - when I select this, the xp pro boot loader
then gives me the choice of xp home or xp pro - how can I get it so
that os selector gives me this choice?
q2: I resized the xp pro partition, it seems to have left the files
intact but now windows is reporting that there are only 180 megs free
on that disk - it's a 60 gig partition, with at most 3-4 gigs of stuff
on (basic windows and 1 or 2 other bits) - how can I recover the rest
of the space?
Thanks.
