Topic: Vista?? Posted: 28 Mar 2010 at 4:12am |
Ok, So I have both vista and XP on the same drive but on partitions. XP got all emo and decided to die. So I reformatted that partition and reinstalled XP. XP is fine now only, when I boot up it goes directly to XP and does not allow me to pick XP or Vista... I know Vista is there because I checked on XP the other partition.. who knows how to make it so I can have dual boot again????

Ok couln't get ahold of DS. Anyone know how to fix this? I tried boot with vista CD and now it goes straight to Vista and I can no longer get on XP. This is very frustrating and I spent the past 3 hours looking online. Please help!

That fixed it! I was looking at this program but vista was being dumb and wouldn't download it (or anything). So I used my other computer to download it and transfer over to this computer. But it works now, thanks!
