I'm running into all sorts of problems here with trying to triple boot Vista, XP and Fedora. About 4 hours ago i had Vista and Fedora successfully dual booting, no problems. Well my Vista was always crashing and i just won a copy of Vista Ultimate so i figure hey, no better time to install it than now. The first thing i did was to install Vista Ultimate on the first 50GB partition on my primary drive, this went perfectly and was up in about 45 mins. Then i went to install XP on the second partition which was 40GB. I booted from disc and the dos based install went fine. Then it rebooted as usual, went to the GUI bit to finish up the install and then reported that there was a component missing or a faulty component or something. So i rebooted to attempt the xp install again and from this point on it just won't boot fromt he XP CD. It asks me to press any key to boot from CD, i do, it scans my system and then just hangs. You guys go any suggest as to what i should do? Dave

Try installing XP on a clean machine.
Then install Vista
and last you install the real OS.
