OK I am going to redescribe this in full as what i would like to achive, as its got a little confusing...
I am currently booting to XBMC in windows 7, everything is perfect except for when the laptop sleeps , and then wakes up the picture is black, and i have to reboot to get it back, and its doing my head in.
So my idea was to install XBMC Live on the second partiton, 500gb, so as default i can use my lappy as a xbmc unit, as it rarely gets used, but would like also to boot into windows when i want to use it, rarely!.
Now i did not realize how difficult this was going to be, i plugged in my usb drive just to try the live install, and it seams to work ok, but i had to select install to entire disk as i dont have a clue how to get it installed on a seperate partiton.
Can sombody help on installing live to the second 500gb partiton and ill go from there, the drivers and all other what not will have to come after, unless i need to do that during
And there was me thinking i pop in the cd and hit install, DOH!!!
