    ok guys, i successfully downloaded the xp 32 bit with slipstream drives on my laptop(7811fx) and everything is doing good.now, when i insterted my vista disc, rebooted my computer, repair my computer, start repair, rebooted the computer, used easybcd, added windows xp32 etc(the drive option is grayed out), rebooted my computer then when i chose windows xp, it says error code oc0000033 w/e error application might be corruppted or missing app. my xp is not corrupted. what the heck is going on?do i have to boot my xp disc again and press repair and wait for 30 min to boot xp again and again?

    I found this guide to be very helpful in dual and tri-booting my PCs. Try it out.

    If you'll just check out the guide and see how it compares to what you did, you should find your answers. Do you have seperate partitions for both OSes? Was the second one formatted properly? These are things to check and compare.

    Here's another guide in my Favorites folder. Just because XP is the preinstalled OS in these doesn't mean that they aren't useful.
