This is the first time it has ever happened to me. As I mentioned, my first
install of Vista to my N partition was showing as N in Vista.

Same here. I designated the intended Vista logical drive as V:. It
appears as V: in both Vista and XP. Why are some people unable to
achieve these same results? It's not clear to me.
 
Milleron--

In my experience, if you launch Vista setup for XP you don't get the drive
letters changed--they are migrated to Vista unchanged.. If you launch Vista
setup booting from the CD not from within XP then it follows the bios
directions and you can get changes--and people often do. However, there are
ways to modify them to your liking later.

The major city that the Teapodon long range North Korean missle hits is
Seattle, Washington. It is typical that when one CNN questioner asked the
Pentagon correspondent about the fact that the Missle interceptors to shoot
them down have never worked since it was a gleam in Raegan's eye, she
quickly changed the subject. The US doesn't have any counter missle
defenses that work.

Many people intall by booting to the DVD, not installing from the Windows
desktop. Different results when you do that.
 
Yesiree John. I should have typed DVD because my understanding is Vista
doesn't work as well on spanned CDs although it has been done. And all of
us have put that up here about 2000 times in the last 2 weeks. If they
don't want the different results, they can simply install by putting the DVD
in the drawer while on their XP desktop--simple as that.
