Hi, I bought a new computer a few months ago that has Vista Home Premium on it. I am trying to instsall Xp in a dual boot mode. I have followed your instructions and created a partition. I now have 3 partitions "C" windows, "D" Recovery (was on computer when I got it), and the new one I created "E"
When I try to install XP the only drive that appears is "C" drive. Any suggestions on how I get the other drives to appear, so I can install XP?
When do you only see the "C" drive. so that we determine what you are or have done!
Ok what you need to have on either a floppy or CD (what ever for your system) is the SCSI controller drivers in an unzipped condition. Reboot to the XP installation disc and shortly after you are prompted to "boot from CD press any key" then you will be prompted again to "install thired party or RAID drivers press F6" you will need to press the F6 key and wait till you are prompted again to load the driver files on the floppy or CD.
After the driver files are installed then you should be able to see the other partitions!
tHANKS FOR THE INFO, WHERE WOULD I FIND THESE DRIVER'S?
You do not say in your posts, what brand of computer / motherboard you have to check their website for the drivers you need.
Mine are on the Asus motherboard cdrom, check your motherboard cdrom and you might have them as well. On the Asus cdrom it has a utility to make the driver disk as well...
I have a Gateway GM5471 Desktop Computer. I went on there website looking for a SCSI Controller Driver, there was so many of them thewre I did not have a clue as to what one I needed.

I could not find any mention of GM5471 at this Gateway link... Gateway Support
gateway does not use the model numbers for their support. You have to use the serial number that is posted somewhere on the computer. usually on a tag stuck on a door or on the outside of the case.
