I only can have 2 ide devices at once. ie 1 hdd and 1 dvd or 2 hdd etc. What i will have to do is install two OS on same hdd and use the boot cd i think.

Thanks For ur help

dude - are you installing XP and Vista on the SAME partition of the same HDD, or on 2 seperate partitions on the same HDD?

This thread keeps going in circles

This is how you should do it, without any problems:

1) Plug in one HDD and your optical
2) Partition the HDD
3) Install XP
4) Install Vista
5) If you want, plug in your other HDD, and unplug your optical

You should seriously consider turning your one HDD (Non OS) into an external, will make like a whole lot easier
