Normal. When you first install Win98 and then XP on other partition, when computer boot, it ask for your choice - Win98 or XP. This same scenario is in this case. I first install XP on C:. Then install Vista on E: partition. Problem is, so Vista uses different boot manager as XP. I need reinstall XP. I do always clean install, coz i reformat C: partition on which is Vista boot manager. After installing XP Vista is on E:, but i cant start it.
