how to set up xp, vista dual boot with media direct working

i searched on this forum for a while and did not find matched information.

i plan to do a clean install to wipe out recovery partition. then will try to install vista first and then xp.

i heard that install vista first then xp will mess up boot loader and we need to use some software to modify the boot loader. will this mess up media direct function too?

thanks!

links or comments will be appreciated.

 

please help

Near the end or middle of the forum people are talking about triple booting. Just give the link a try.

 

thanks!
there are over 50 pages on that thread. I tried to look at it, seems to me there is no very informative answer. I will keep looking, though...

 

A whole hour and two minutes and nobody was helping you?

Ever hear of the word "Patience"?

 

hehe, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, be patient, ................................................................................

 

I guess the short answer is that you have to figure it out for yourself, using tips from threads like that one with 50 pages.

Here's a couple of other threads to look at
