Hi Terry. Thanks for the lengthy reply. I understood everything you explained except for a few things. If Hns creates it's own menu.lst , then why bring EasyBCD into the mix? When I went through the hns process and got to the end where I was given an option to add additional entries, that confused me. Especially when I selected that option and EasyBCD appears and only shows me my Vista entry. Why would I want to modify the old Vista menu? And then towards your third paragraph when you get into the timeout (0) , you lost me completely. Sorry. :shame:
I just want to be able to boot Vista or XP (with Vista as the default), have maybe 10 seconds to decide before it goes to default and retain my restore points in Vista and have my third partition (e) serving as a common data drive shared by both (this is where I keep all my downloads and such, no programs). I don't have Ubuntu or Linux or multiple physical hard drives and 20 something partitions like some of the other fellows.
As for the registry hack and bit blocker, I know that they are 2 different things. I was referring to the two options given in the article. Neither one interest me. Besides, according to the article the registry hack works if you've got Xp installed on C and Vista on D. I'm the opposite.
I want to give HnS another go. Perhaps I just need a little guidance.
I've had UAC turned off ever since I installed Vista 64. It game me such headaches and I haven't had a problem since. I hope that it's not the cause of the problems I'm having with HnS.
