Hello Everyone,
As requested by Computer Guru, here's a copy of my posting on the VistaBootPro forum:
Received a notice that my previous post had been moved over to Volvoguy's since he was having a similar problem. I tried the fix detailed on his thread (disable UAC, copy bootsect.exe into win32 directory etc.) but it had no effect at all. When I rebooted, again it was directly into Vista (no boot menu choices). Then just for jollies, I used VistaBootPro and added an entry for the XP system (drive D. Now when I boot, a boot menu comes up with Vista and XP choices. When I select XP, I get a load error (ntldr - something about being corrupted). Am not sure what to do next.
Here's the Vista boot record output from VistaBootPro:
There are a total of 2 OSes installed into the boot manager.
Current timeout before default boots: 30 seconds.
Default OS: Microsoft Windows
Entry #1
Name: Microsoft Windows
BCD ID: {current}
Boot Drive: C:
Windows Drive: C:
System Bootloader: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Windows Directory: \Windows
Entry #2
Name: Windows XP
BCD ID: {a876fd8b-faa3-11da-9d30-00508ded2e29}
Boot Drive: C:
Windows Drive:
System Bootloader: \ntldr
Windows Directory:
I can see that there is information missing from the XP entry but am not sure what should be included. When I installed Vista from XP, the drive mappings on that side were C: for XP and F: for Vista. On the Vista side, the mappings are now C: for Vista and D: for XP.
Eagerly awaiting advice. Thanks.
