Hello,
I do have a problem and I'm wondering if anybody could help me please.
I installed Vista as a 2nd OS and now two of my storage drives show up as
foreign disks in XPpro and I just can't import them but both drives show up
fine in Vista.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Tina

Vista has some peculiarities when it comes to multibooting. Post your
question in the appropriate Vista newsgroup:

Vista newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general
microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_account
microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware_devices
microsoft.public.windows.vista.installation_setup
microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail
microsoft.public.windows.vista.networking_sharing
microsoft.public.windows.vista.performance_maintenance
microsoft.public.windows.vista.print_fax_scan
microsoft.public.windows.vista.security

And no, I don't know your answer or I would tell you now. :-)

I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong group...I just thought I ask here because
I'm having the problem in XP and not in Vista....
Thanks anyway!

No need to apologize. Vista has caused the problem; post where people
are actively working with Vista, multi-booting, and can help you.
