Vista doesn't use boot.ini, but it should not have touched the XP boot.ini. Check the D: drive for it, just incase. | |

by sounds of it vista bootloader hasnt detected the xp install, in vista theres a command you can run from the command prompt | |

you need to edit your boot.ini file which you can only see if you open 'my computer', tools -> folder options quote: But thats just mine, your disc and partition numbers will need to be correct. best of luck to you, and a nice warning to anyone else planning on installing Vista on their main PC. and im guessing you only have a number of days before vista time bomb goes off and you are left with no windows [Edited on 30-08-2006 by Bart] | |
