I have succesfully installed Win 7 on my mini 9 using the excellent guides on this forum. Everything works great except that the XP partition is visible to Win 7 and vice-versa. How can I hide the 2 OS partitions from each other? Thanks. Alpine White Mini 9 2gb ram Runcore 32gb 16gb SD card Dell 5 button BT mouse (Alpine White) |

There's a program called TweakUI contained in Microsoft's PowerToys package that will hide partitions in XP. I don't know if it works in 7 though. Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP |

You could also just unassign the drive letters for each other in Disk management. Go into the first partition and unassign the drive letter for the second, and go into the second and unassign the drive letter for the first. That way you won't be able to see them.

Doh! Why didn't I think of that? Worked beautifully. Now I have just a C drive and the SD card showing up in both OS's. Thanks Z4i. Alpine White Mini 9 2gb ram Runcore 32gb 16gb SD card Dell 5 button BT mouse (Alpine White) |
