hello !
i have a problem when trying to fix the vista bootloader with easybcd. the thing is that i`m trying to make 4 o.s to work together. my uncle has recently asked me to install 2 vista and 2 xp on his laptop (dell 1501) so that he may learn windows xp and windows vista in both english and native language (romanian). i have the original products (vista english, vista romanian and xp english). i installed them in the following order :
c:\ - vista english
d:\ - vista romanian
e:\ - xp english
f:\ - xp english + romanian language interface pack from microsoft
i googled a bit in order to make them all bootable. found and installed easybcd. i managed to configure vista to boot the romanian version and the xp`s but the english version of the vista remained hidden. i messed up eventually the whole boot configuration and now only the xp`s work :brows:i know, pretty stupid. i can`t boot into vista (neither english nor romanian). is it possible to make at least the 2 vista`s work both on the same hdd ? if so, how ? please, i really need help. i`m new to vista and bored to death by xp. that`s why when i aventured myself into vista it all went wrong. can it be done ? if not, why ? thank you !
later edit : i`m talking about windows vista business and windows xp professional sp2.
