Hello Everyone!
Hows it going, this is my 1st post, so really its also a Big "HELLO" to Everyone!
I could not find introduce forum?
I need some advice please on what to do here...? I tried to look for solution but (FAIL)Hows it going, this is my 1st post, so really its also a Big "HELLO" to Everyone!
I could not find introduce forum?
I beleive this is a very known issue*, i have read some posts on how to solve this, but ive lost myself in a World of Technical Confusion
My Problem Issue
I have my Desktop installed with two HDD's,
One is my main (C)Drive 1TB SATA 2 with my O/S Vista 64 Ultima (OEM).
And the other is my secondary (D)Drive 150GB SATA 1. (Clean Formatted Drive)
My intentions were to install WinXp Pro 32bit (OEM) on my secondary drive (D), just so i could keep on playing my old Xp games without any issues from good old vista. Seemed a good idea.
So i did so, it worked, but now ive come across what many appear to have the same issue with, dual boot failure, and cant boot into Vista anymore. So im stuck with using the O/S Xp.
I re-inserted my Vista OEM disk to repair the boot, and it came up as a messege i think said "unable to repair this early version of windows" but the only O/S i could see to repair was my main (C) drive, the one with vista on it. I tried to re-install vista over the previous installation and to keep my files of course but that wouldnt let me do so. Only a fresh Installement.
So, i tried this little tool. Windows Vista Recovery Disc Download The NeoSmart Files Downloaded, mounted, burned, not a problem there..
Unfortunately, it failed to recognize the boot files and just bypassed it and carried on to boot into windows Xp. Also it was designated to boot from CD. And there was no "Press any key to boot from..." comfirmation.
_______________
Now i am so stuck
All i would like to do, is be able to boot to either Vista64 for what i common use everyday or to boot into Xp32 for some nice gaming
If not, its ok, but please help me get back into Vista
*So im really sorry, if this feels like a common post*, i feel bad
posting this. ive been trying to solve problem without having to post. ive been through forum, trying to do as much research as possible, but as above :?? ive confused myself in the process oops :evil: maybe i could be pointed in the right step-by-step direction:nerd:?
