I have Vista Beta 2 on my C: drive which I installed over an XP Pro installation which was setup as a dual boot between XP Pro & Windows MCE.

Now when I boot my machiine I still get a dual boot menu giving me the options of Earlier Version Of Windows & Windows (Vista)

If I select Earlier Version Of Windows my old boot menu comes up with the options of XP Pro & Windows MCE but as I installed Vista over XP Pro this option does not work, MCE works fine.

Anyone got any idea how I can edit this menu or Vista's menu so I can choose between Vista & MCE directly?

I have searched for boot.ini but it appears to have disappeared.

I know I need to use a boot manager to edit vista but I don't know what to add or change.

Thanks

Nige.

I have used Vista Boot Pro but I still get my old boot menu when I select Windows MCE.

I think it is to do with the /ntldr but I don't know what I should replace this with so I don't get this second menu.

my bootloader info is as:

I want them both, but only the Vista is working.

When I select MCE I get my previous bootmenu which gives me the choice of XP Pro or MCE, if I select MCE it does work but I want to bypass this second bootmenu.

Yep I understand now. Forget about Boot Pro do what I said above after booting MCE.

You will then not have the second boot menu after the Vista boot menu if that makes sence.

That worked fine, many thanks for the help :)
