Hi Bob,
Thanks for the suggestion. I searched for BadCopy Pro and then emailed their support to ask if it works with DVD-RAM discs. The email came back as undeliverable (I re-checked the email address and it was OK). Makes me go hmmm...
Was trying to confirm compatibility with DVD-RAM before...
Vanka25, thanks for responding.
I got R-Studio (using it in demo mode) and it does not even see the DVD-RAM disc. I suppose since the disc is read as unformatted R-Studio cannot even begin to recover it.
Dim possibility that I am not using R-Studio correctly?
I would appreciate any ideas...
I accidentally put a DVD-RAM disc into my DVD-RAM drive on my laptop when I had Nero opened (my mistake). Somehow it corrupted the disc and now when I insert this DVD-RAM disc (without Nero opened) I get a message saying the disc is unformatted and asking if I would like to format it.
This...
Did not have a chance to post for a while because I had to take a business trip.
Just want to thank the forum for the insights. I was able to successfully set up a dual boot system using Boot-Us and it seems to be working great.
Much Appreiciated!
OK - I really want to thank this forum for the understandable insights.
One last question before I go ahead and hopefully finally install a real, proper dual boot system:

Thank you Wolluf! That is a clear step-by-step that I need!
In regard to your question about my last attempt, I did install into 2 partitions, and using Partition Magic 8 I did hide one while installing the second BUT- instead of installing the second OS from the XP CD, I had made a ghost...
Does anybody have any experience with Boot-Us, especially as compared to Partition Magic's Boot Magic?
Also, if I install a dual-boot correcty with two WinXP's, I SHOULD be able to turn off services in one OS and leave them on in the second OS, no?
The Symantec support sucks, I am grateful...
Thanks for the responses.
EdFair - The laptop I am trying to set up does not have a floppy disk drive. So I think I am stuck not making any Emergncy Back Ups. I can always just boot from the PM8 disk, I hope that is as useful. I am not clear however, when it is better to run PM from within...
I read that a partition needs to be "true hidden" not just "hidden" in order for Windows XP to completely not see a hidden partition.
Is this an old issue that has been dealt with already by programs such as Partition Magic, or is it something to be aware of today?
I am trying to install Win...
Please excuse the "newbeness" of my questions.
I would like to set up two installations of WinXP as independently as possible. I am a musician and want to use one OS for audio applications and one OS for internet/Office applications.
My head is swimming regarding "true hid" , "extended...
