I have Vista installed on C drive and XP on drive E. I originally had XP Pro installed on drive C and did not have another drive. My copy of XP Pro got damaged so when Vista came out last year I bought an OEM copy of Vista Home Premium and and OEM copy of XP Home with another hard drive.
Installed Vista on C then unplugged the hard drive and plugged in the new hard drive and installed Xp and then plugged the Vista drive back in to avoid having Vista or XP stopping the other from starting. I've been using OSLoader and have had enough with it. It works 100% but I cannot register it after buying a copy, it always times out and I have emailed them 4 times and no reply so... I'm giving EasyBCD a shot.
Heres my prob:
I followed the step in the help but I don't actually know what was installed first, Vista or Xp because of how I had the other drive unplugged when installing them. When loading the Vista boot stuff on XP and adding it under the 'Add/remove Entries' tab I get funny probs. Whenever I add XP and choose 'NT/2K/XP/2K3' in the type drop down it changes Vista's to 'NT/2K/XP/2K3' aswell.
When i try and add XP when running Vista it's even weider. I add XP and choose 'NT/2K/XP/2K3' and choose drive 'E' it changes Vista to 'NT/2K/XP/2K3' again but this time in the 'Manage Exisiting Enteries' box above it changes Vista to 'Windows Resume Application' and XP to 'Windows Memory Diagnostic'. Very odd.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Is uninstalling the Vista Bootloader on XP and reformatting the Vista drive and installing it again with both drives plugged in at the same time the solution?
Thanks for any help!
