If you have your Windows XP OS CD that hopefully came with the laptop, boot from it and select the Repair option, then select the option to repair...
Sorry. Never mind, I figured it out almost immediately after hitting Post on the first message. I have a USB hard drive that I plugged in and...
After all of MudCrab's help getting me going over the last couple weeks everything was running GREAT until a few days ago. New problem. All of...
FANTASTIC!! Editing the Hidden Sectors fixed it. Thanks much!!! What about that question of whether to mark the logical partition Active? It...
Okay, one more question. What does the "write boot sector" option do for an OSS boot option? In all the ones that OSS detected itself, it...
Thanks! All the rest of the ID's in the file I was looking at were 10 digits so I was just assuming they all had to be. Although my latest...
Attached. The partition higlighted in the screen shot is the one I'm trying to boot to. It's the first logical partition in the extended...
MudCrab, if you see this, I'm wondering if you can explain what the 0xBB partition type is and why DD created the partion with that type when I...
Thanks again for the info. I added the additional logical partition manually and OSS does transfer to that partition, but I just get an error "A...
MudCrab, quick question on manually editing the Bootwiz.oss file. When you create the entries in the file for the different OS's, each OS has an...
Is OSS able to boot an OS from a logical partition? I thought I could have 4 primary partitions plus an extended partition on a hard drive so...
Thanks for the info. Once I'm sure everything is working okay I'll take an image of both the Vista and XP partitions and then try uninstalling...
Well, from my previous 3 issues everything is up and running just great now! I've got Vista and XP both installed to their own partitions and OSS...
Well, I think I got it. XP is installing now so I'll see how it works once XP actually boots up, but at least that initial screen to select the...
If MudCrab should see this... I managed to find this thread and MudCrab's post in the 2nd message of this thread....
Well dang it! If it ain't one thing, it's another. Okay, I've got Vista installed to it's own new partion. I've got DD10 with OSS installed...
Ah, well that's good to know. I guess I know I can use safe mode most of the time and if I needed to move a large partition I could always...
You're a genius! Thanks again!! No, I had not disabled in the BIOS. I had just disconnected the data cable from the floppy drive. I just now...
Thanks for the help again MudCrab, I greatly appreciate it! There are no media card readers attached, but there is a floppy drive attached. I...
I had posted before about trying to set up dual-boot between Vista and XP using OSS and OSS not detecting either the Vista or XP OS partitions....
Ah, nostalgia. I remember dealing with 10 Mb "sider" drives (or something like that) that were hard drives on an add-in ISA card for PS/2's at...
Doesn't look like the attachments to my previous post made it through. Try this.
Thanks for all the info. I totall agree on OSS being "too automatic". It's bunch of BS if you ask me. At they very least they ought to...
Actually I plan to do the VM thing too for some things. The main reason I want to also dual boot though is games. I'm not sure all the games I...
The basic question here is that after installing OS Selector, it will not recognize either my Windows XP or my Windows Vista partitions on my hard...
