One of friend had xp on his pc with 160hd. Xp is installed on c drive. He today me today to installed vista on drive d. After boot i changed the boot manager so system can dual boot. Everything was done fine . Problem came while installing application. When booting through xp all works fine. When on vista the software gets installed in c drive instead of d. I think something went wrong while vista installation. * +
