I was running XP and Vista on my system and I reinstalled XP. Now I can't access Vista at all. The bootloader menu screen doesn't load so it defaults to XP every time. I've tried using EasyBcd in XP but that doesn't work. Is there a way to manually edit the boot.ini file to add Vista to the startup options?
this may be of some help, http://www.tburke.net/info/ntldr/ntldr_hacking_guide.htm http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000492.htm NTLDR is a bit of a pain to use, i would wipe the partition vista is on or reformat the disc its on then dual boot using the same method you did before from XP, best of luck man -tripplite
Boot from the Vista CD and go to the Repair your computer. You may need to do it twice. It will find a problem and fix it. Then it will only load Vista. When in Vista use EasyBCD to add XP to the bootloader.
