Vista and XP Dual-Boot

[ametur_poet]

I'm going to triple-boot my laptop. It already has vista and ubuntu dual-booted, and I'm going to try and install XP. However, I'm a bit nervous about EasyBCD because of my previous incedents with it. So, I'm going to use a method I found on the net:

3) Boot to a Vista disc and run the Startup Repair option
4) Boot normally into Vista and add the XP installation to the bootloader using these commands:
bcdedit –set {ntldr} device partition=C:
bcdedit –set {ntldr} path \ntldr
bcdedit –displayorder {ntldr} –addlast
bcdedit -set {ntldr} description “Microsoft Windows XP”

I just wanted to know what the people here thought of this method.

Yep, should work.

I don't know (can't remember actually ) if I showed you this link before?

No, you haven't, but I'm glad you did, because it reminded me to format the partition as NTFS. Thank you!

You're welcome

Those revised instructions should work just fine, without any complications. At essence, they're the same as those that you posted above.
