I do have a partition for it on the master drive, but didn't know about needing the
drivers for XP.
Sorry for my ignorance, but am I to hit F6 while it is loading the other stuff, before
the shut down with the blue screen?
Also, while researching this issue before posting the original problem here, I read
that the older sys rule doesn't apply with Vista. I trust that is accurate. My second
option, and less preferred, is that I can install XP on the slave drive and jst change
boot order when I want to boot into XP, yes?
