multiboot xp and vista help?

Posted: 03-04-2006, 02:42 AM
hello.
I can't boot into xp anymore. I first installed XP then Vista.
XP is on Disk 0 Partition 1 and Vista is in Disk 1 Partition 2.
How can I add the XP into the boot menu with BCDEdit ?

You sure its not bootable or just don't know how to access it? Windows Vista
installs a new boot manager, you should be able to access Windows XP from
the legacy boot manager. If its not that, I think there is an option to use
the bootsec.exe command to restore XP and make it bootable again.

Okay thanks Andre.
Now I only need to figure out how I can add XP into the bootmenu or make it
the primary boot system again
