Running Vista Ultimate 64. I installed VistaBoot Pro 3.3 today, and when I start it, I get this message.

[OS Detection Error]
VistaBootPro has detected that Vista is either not installed or is
! installed on a hidden drive. You may experience minor problems using
VistaBootPRO and/ or making changes to your BCD Registry.

Is this something I should be worried about?
I have the following Volumes in the System.

Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info
---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- --------
Volume 0 D DVD-ROM 0 B No Media
Volume 1 C Vista 64 NTFS Partition 233 GB Healthy System
Volume 2 F Win XP 32 b NTFS Partition 49 GB Healthy
Volume 3 G Programs an NTFS Partition 137 GB Healthy

Vista and CP are installed on their own drives, and are booted accessing the BIOS Boot menu.

When XP is booted the drives are assigned as follows.
WIN XP 32 = C
Programs and Data = D
DVD = E
Vista = F

Thank You

While booted to XP, make sure the boot system files for both operating systems are on the drive tagged "System" as per disk management in XP. These are ntldr, boot.ini and NTDETECT.COM for XP and the folder Boot and file bootmgr for Vista. Copy and paste those to the root of that drive and then you should be able to use VBP to set up your dual boot.

You'll need to set folder options>view so that you can see hidden files and folders and not hide protected operating system files to see those files and folder.

It's important to decide which drive you are going to set as the first boot HDD in your BIOS and then keep that one as such, otherwise you will continually be faced with a changed "System" drive.
