Vista / XP dual boot

ChaosdaJoker · 23 May 2007 at 16:37

Hey,

I want to run a dual OS setup, on 1 HDD i have Windows XP Pro(32-bit), and on the 2nd i installed Windows Vista (64-bit), is there a simple way to make it that when i boot up, it will give me the option to select which 1 i want to load.

I looked in the BIOS to see if there was a setting but i did not come across it.

Thanks

When you install Vista to the other drive it will install a boot manager, so when you turn on your PC you'll get the option to either boot into Vista, or boot into an older version of Windowss (in this case XP)

So there's no need to mess around in the Bios. I'm doing exactly the same this this week also
