Boot manager

Hi Guys
I have dual boot system now,(XP Home , XP Media Center 2005) and now i
installed the Vista Bata 2.
All is working well so far.
Each of my systems is on a seperate hard drive.
I have 4 hard drives in my system ,1. xp home , 2. storage , 3. xp media
center , 4. Vista.
Is there a way to tell the boot manager that i want to boot xp home as
default ,not Vista.
Can i edite the boot manager?
Or get vista incorporated into the xp boot order without useing the vista
boot manager.
Thanks in advance.

The default boot on a dual boot question has been coming up for about a
year, and there have been a lot of remedies, including VistaBootPro and I
saw this part of the debug article and supposed it was recommending to use
BCEDIT to do the same thing and I guess that this tool just makes it easier
than spending time to learn to modify the boot store via BCEDIT.

Thanks Guys
That is what i was looking for.
So far Vista has been working good on my machine.
My machine is = Asus P4800-E Deluxe Board ,3.2 CPU , 2 gig of memory ,4 sata
hard drives, 2 DVD burners.
But XP runs a bunch faster here then Vista , as far as clicking on folders
and opening them and just general snooping around the PC.
Had a few problems with IE7 on websites
My only problem is mail.
I have Qwest DSL and http mail , I didn't really want to use hotmail.
I installed microsoft outlook on vista and that seams to work ok.
This old dog just likes outlook express.
For some reason the Live site tells me i am not alowed to have windows live
mail desktop.
oh well we are still testing RIGHT.
Thanks guys
Carl G
