I got that far, but after I have created the 1st "new simple volume" I can't make another one. Maybe I'm just being dense.

EDIT: I was just being stupid as usual......trying to create another new volume in the one I just made instead of in the unallocated space. :blush:

Way to work thru the dense fog brudder :P

i am gonna re do it under photobucket

Now is this absolutely critical in order for them to all work?

I installed Lite 1st, then 7 on the 4th partition and it was working fine...boot to either one. But then I installed server2003 enterprise edition, and I can no longer boot to 7.

2K3 is a pain and I can't get it set up.....I can't use my DVD for some reason it tells me "hardware monitor driver failed to load" . I can explore the DVD but can't run it while in 2K3.

I can't get VGA drivers to work on it either.

If using ATI vga, check that you have .net framework installed.
Yes, its critical to install the os in order of release, xp32,xp64,server2003, vista32,vista64, server2008, window732, windows764. oldest to newest will keep the boot loader functioning. Else you will need to play with bcdedit, or a bootloader app, the names slip my mind atm.

You might wanna just give it another install oldest to newest.

Actually, you can install the operating systems in any order. There's just less hassle if you install from oldest to newest.

I use a program called EasyBCD, and what it does is restore the Master Boot Record, or MBR, after an older OS overwrite it.

Here is a tutorial on using EasyBCD.

I don't mind re-installing, I just needed to know that would fix it.

Maybe I'll use kikis updated guide and figure out the TaiServer. Might as well. :thumbsup:
