be careful when fuddling around in the disk management, meaning, make sure you are manipulating the drive you intend on manipulating.

Having said that, when you look at the disk manager, you'll see:

Volumes at the top and disk 0,1,2,3,4,5 etc on the bottom. In my screenshot, disk 0 is actually my backup drive and not an operating system drive. Disk 1 is my Raid/OS drive. On that drive I have 3 partitions (1 small partition in the front aka 7 ultimate standard). The two latter partitions are my WIN7 32 and 64 bit partitions. At the back of that drive is UNALLOCATED DISK SPACE.

Simply right click and select "new simple volume" and then decide how big that partition will be during the following prompts.

O.k. so you have a disk# that doesnt have any partitions on it. YOu may have to initially right click the disk# and initialize it. More than likely it will already say "UNNALLOCATED DISK SPACE" in black, just right click there and select new simple volume.

Lemme know if this helps or if I've just missed what your asking for.

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.

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.
