Help installing Dual Booted System Drivers (Win Vista - XP)

It's a stupid question, but the stupid questions are sometimes the ones that get the best answers - did you partition the drive with an OS already installed, or format it completely before installing?

I partitioned the hard drive with vista running in it. I only formated the unallowcated xp drive space.

What exactly does it do when it fails? Does it not go through completely, stop during the middle? Etc./

It won't even begin the installation. It gives an error saying that I don't have XP installed or that the right components are installed incorrectly or at least not properly.

Extra Note

I was finally able to try and install the video driver, which ultimatly, FAILED!

I will take screenshots and upload them, that sounds good to me.

I will upload them in about an hour from this post - 5:10a.m. pst

Here are the pictures in no order.

Driver Upacked Folders

Windows XP view of the system F: is the XP Partition while C: is vista

Vista's version of the drives area. Is this a problem?

Audio Failer to install

Broadcom Fails to install properly, even with restart.

nVIDIA failer to install, due to improper hardware.

You're having some sort of conflict between the OSes, i'll try and find out why later for you. I've never dealt with any of this firsthand, but i'd guess that because you installed XP afterwards.. there may have been something miscalculated as you put XP on.

..hmm

My Vista Speakers are not working now! After that picture I took my Win Vista Speakers stopped working. It states that they are working just fine, but that's a load of bull-shit since I don't hear anying coming out of them. Please try to resolve this shitty system quick.\

EDIT: Found Driver and fixed it, problem for vista speakers resolved, though the XP partition is still sucking hard.

Have you tried re-installing XP on the XP partition?

Have you tried re-installing XP on the XP partition?

Yes, I have re-installed the XP partition twice.

Here's what I would do.

/f disk that entire Partition and start from scratch. You may have setup your partition with the wrong fileset or something, i'd really just have to look at it to ultimately make a diagnosis, but i'd start from scratch.

That, and I'm not even sure if you can partition a hard drive with Vista on it with something other than Vista, though, I know that Linux guys do it, so i'm somewhat thrown off. It just sound like the drivers aren't being compatible, for whatever the reason.... But i'd just start over, delete that partition and start over.

I already beat you to it, I done started from scratch twice, but I mean the vista was installed both times, I don't want to delete it, yet.
