I am triple-booting XP Home, XP Pro, and Windows 7. 7 and Pro are on a 20gb; Home on an 80. Never did like the fact that they went from boot.ini to BCDEDIT.exe. Pees me off.
Okay, I have had freakin enough. How do I get rid of the BIOS that allows me to switch OSs? I want 2 delete 7 off my PC 4 good.
I turned UAC in 7 off the first day, same as I had it in Vista.
Today it seemed to turn back on by itself, anyone else have this happen. I hope it does not continue that.
Run on the admin account and UAC is mute.
It is an admin account.
That depends on how you use your HD. I use a small HD for the OS and a separate drive for storing other files. My 'Program Files' folder only contains around 4GB of application related files while Vista is using around 18-22GB currently.
For me, I don't see the need of having anything bigger than my 36GB raptor as an OS drive - but Vista is pushing it.
btw, I have tried the vsp1cln.exe and only managed to recover around 1.5-2GB of space.
interesting stuff, as well as why it happens, thanx for posting witht he link to solutionI have found something which so far I can not understand.
I am dual booting XP 32 bit and 7 64 bit.
If I create a restore point in 7 and reboot into 7 then restore points are still there.
If I boot into XP then when I go back to 7 the restore points in 7 are all deleted.
As long as I stay booting into 7 the restore points are OK but anytime I boot into XP the restore points for 7 get deleted.
I have XP setup to not monitor the 7 volume and 7 setup to not monitor the XP volume.
