Default Thank you


First off, as the title says, thank you William.

I had some problems regarding installing XP Pro (Upgrade Version Disk - no service packs included) with Vista 64 bit installed. When I would reboot after creating a partiton with XP disk in CD/DVD, the partition would not be recognized or be recognized but unknown. After scouring the threads I found the solution.

I used the free nLite "Slipstreaming" progam metioned in these threads and used that to create a bootable ISO with XP SP3. Problem solved and partion was recognized and everything worked just fine.

I still had to swap my original Windows 98 full version CD in when directed and as a caution before starting, have a large enough media device to hold your setup OS and any Service Pack you may need. I used a flash drive and the DVD burner off my laptop to create the bootable disk.

My problem in a nutshell was that I was trying to install an original version of XP on a pretty new comp.
