    I just dual booted my computer now i have issues. First of all windows xp won't run i.e. it like wants me to install it. My processor won't show nor my graphics card. Does that mean i have to manually look for drivers? If i go on my brand acer has my drivers will those do? Also a confusing question if i install a graphics driver on vista will it be read on it on xp or do i have to reinstall it again? Help Appreciated :D

    Of course you need to install drivers. One OS doesn't even know the other exists.
