Windows comes with a boot manager built in anymore. XP and Vista both support multi booting..

In order to partition a drive you will still erase everything though.

But I'm pretty sure you won't be able to set up partitions and keep the information that's there.Ura is right. Let's say you have a drive with one 250Gb partition, of which your Vista stuff only takes about 100Gb (so you have 150GB free in that partition).Quote:Originally Posted by Ura Hero
Not true. Partition Magic can do this easily if you have free space on the drive that is more than the partition size that you wish to make.
With Partition Magic (or another good partition tool - I use System Rescue CD), you will be able to resize the disk's existing partition to about 100-125Gb (your call), and create a new partition with the rest of the disk's free space.
But first you need to find out how you disk is partitionned. You can use Partition Magic (or System Rescue CD) to look at all the partitions on your drives, even the hidden ones that Vista won't show you.
Also, even if you don't wipe your disk clean and keep your Vista stuff, you will need to reinstall all your programs under XP. The upside is that if you need to copy over configuration files or data (pictures, music, etc.), it's still there and available under XP.
I never tried a dual boot with 2 Windows OSes... well, I did but years ago with Win95 and Win98: I had about 7 different OSes on my test machine, and was using a DOS utility called Boot Commander (sp?) to switch between them.
I don't think it would work the same with XP and Vista, but I'm sure you can google the procedure. -

Nope, Zek, it's just Taalan saying that the Confused Couch needs cleaning...

Humm... 45 views and only one reply. Maybe I laid on the "I'm So Great" schtick a bit thick.
OK, let's start over.
==============
I was thinking about the story I wrote for C-Spot Ron (about a halpless interdimensional would-be hero) and I thought that Kevin Maguire - based on his work on "Justice League", "StrikeBack!" and "Formerly Known As The Justice League" - would do a great job drawing it.
So...
What comic artist (or any other artist) would you see drawing your characters in a comic book ?

Good choice, SK: "The King" was one of the all-time greats !

Well, Archivist (the English spelling) is my global name, and Archiviste (the French spelling) is my forum name (yes, I am french-speaking, why do you ask ?). And I have used this name (or variant thereof) on several forum boards.
And for what reason ? Well... that's part of what I studied in college and university (Archives and Record Management) and YES I am a compulsive pack-rat, always gathering and hoarding scraps and bits of info...
Pretty lame, isn't it...

Last night, I took out of of my numerous alts, C-Spot Ron, for a spin and it got thinking about the bit of fan fiction I wrote about him (it can be found here, if you insist...). To be be precise, I asked myself, "Self, if you could put this little gem of writing into an actual comic book, who do you see as the ideal penciler?".
The answer: Kevin Maguire.
So, just for a lark, who do you see penciling your own fan fiction ?

I was vacationing in northern Quebec to see some relatives, and I remember waking up and turning on the TV to check on the day's weather... just a few minutes after the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center. I just stood there, in the darkened room, while listening to the newscasters trying to make sense of what had just happened.
Then the second plane hit the other tower.
For the rest of the week, every places I went to, it was the first (and sometimes only) topic of conversation with my aunts, uncles and cousins. Even the girl at the gas station I stopped to when driving back (somewhere between Ville-Marie and Petawawa) mentionned she knew someone in NYC and was praying he was safe. -

I tend to do respec at specific levels (ex. at 22 to sell my DOs at full value and start slotting level 25 SOs), and unless I play this weekend and one of my alts attain a "magic number", I'm gonna lose it anyway, so... meh.
But thanks for the heads up anyway, WK 8)
