Cheers for your help. Found a little app called easyBCD which is a GUI for editing BCD entries. Sorted it out so I now get a selective boot menu. This has pissed Vista off as it now tells me on start up that I am in selective boot mode. This os doesn't half like to state the bleeding obvious does it :rolleyes:

Just restore the Vista boot sector, and then add XP to the list.
Both can be done using BCDedit.exe IIRC.

I'm running Vista, but I need to run XP for a program to work properly. How do I install XP and get it to dual boot?

I tried just installing it onto a partition, but it didn't actually work, all it did was delete the boot sector from my VIsta partition and then only boot into XP. I understand that it dual boots automaticly if you install a newer version of Windows onto a computer, but obviously not so well if you try installing an older version.
