Hey guys,

Okay heres what I have done so far:

- I previously had Vista installed on my 400GB Hard Drive

- I wanted to XP to Dual Boot with Vista, so I used a program off the net and split the previous Vista Partition into two, so now have I Partition 1 (Vista) - Partition 2 (Empty)

- I installed XP onto Partition 2

- Once I was into XP, I restarted, put in the Vista disc, repaired Vista (So that it would restore the Vista Bootloader)

- Once I restarted the PC, no bootloader appeared, and Vista started as normal.

- I tried to use "EasyBCD", but it wouldn't find the XP boot information in the Vista Bootloader -- Furthermore, I went into System Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Startup Settings -- And still only found Vista as an OS in the bootloader.

-------------------------

Here is where I am!! I'm now sat in Vista, with two Hard Drives in My Computer (The two OS's) and can't seem to load into XP.

I tried throwing in the XP disc and choosing to repair, but whenever I try to repair the OS it asks for an administrator password, however I haven't currently set an administrator password!

Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Marky
