Hi,
I've got a small issue

I just did a super ninja upgrade of my system to a
Q6600 4gb etc

Bought vista 64 works good most of the time, but a lot of my old good games don't like vista 64, I have xp professional (32) so i'd like to setup my second hard drive to boot xp.


I tried just installing xp on the spare drive and it ruined the vista boot sector.

Is there a 3rd party program to setup a multi boot ?
 
I thought you had to install XP First but could be wrong.

Heard a bit about VISTABOOTPRO?

Wait for conformation though!!
 
EasyBCD is what you need buddy :)

First tho, stick your vista disk into your drive and boot from it, one of the first screens will be a repair link. click that, and you'll get a list of stuff, select start up repair or boot repair somthing like that.

After youv done that, vista will boot but xp wont. when in vista download EasyBCD and stick xp in the boot loader using that app =]

Sorry about the post, i only have 1 hand to type with so just bashing keys lol.
 
Thankyou, both mine and wifes pc's have upgraded to vista but its annoying how many old games won't run on 64 vista, so i'll pop in an old sata drive into wifes pc aswell and do the same for hers
