Hi,
Sorry for my ambiguos post, on my old PC i have winxp pro formatted
FAT32 on one partition and it cannot read winxp pro formatted NTFS
formatted on the other partition. So, when I boot into either
partition, the primary drive is rendered as C:\
Now with my new PC, I have arranged my PC with similar paritition
setup, when I boot into the vista NTFS partition, the primary drive is
rendered as c:, but when I boot into winxp FAT32 partition, the
primary drive is rendered as H:\ (after all the removable drives)
Thanx
