[krates]

Note: First Install Windows Xp (For Example In Drive D:) Then Install Windows Vista (For Example On Drive c:)
Then It Will Not Show Xp On Startup Don't Worry

In Windows Vista

Right Click On Computer,Properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click Advanced System Settings.
Click the Advanced tab, and then, under Startup and Recovery, click Settings.
Under System startup, in the Default operating system list, click the (earlier Version Of Windows)operating system Then restart your computer.

Tip
To be able to choose which operating system to use when you turn on your computer, select the Time to display list of operating systems check box, and then click the number of seconds that you want the list of available operating systems displayed before the default operating system starts automatically.

something weird. after installing vista, on startup, i can see XP on the boot screen. I can even boot. Also, I can access Vista files from XP. (Accessing NTFS from FAT32???). Strange.

There is nothin strange with accessing FAT32 files from NTFS and vice versa.....
Its very much possible....

Only Windows 98 wont allow u to recognize NTFS....

This is quite funny. If u dint get an option to boot into XP, how can u get Earlier version of windows in the advanced settings.
And there is no reason why u cant access a NTFS system if u install an OS on a FAT32 partition. It is the OS support for the file system that matters and not the type of file system the OS is installed on.

Only Windows 98 wont allow u to recognize NTFS....
NTFS is supported locally by Windows NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista
