go to reboot twice then install XP it comes up with the blue XP installer and i tell it to install on the New partition D: it copies all the install files then reboots to do nothing at all! no XP Setup comes up to actualy install the OS, i can recover it back to vista and see the XP install files on the new drive so i formated all and tried again to get the same problem.

any help would be awesome as i'm stuck as hell!

Hi, I have the same problem. My partitions are 100GB for Vista (C and 100GB for XP (X. After the file copying portion of the XP installation, when the PC restarts, a black screen saying "Error loading Operating System" appears.

I tried several times form scratch but had no success. If I install XP on the first partition it install fine.

Is there a relation with the partition size?

Thanks for helping.

Depa.
