Add Xp disk to boot menu


Recommended Posts

Anyone know of a way similar to the bootcfg /rebuild option from the command prompt to add my Windowx Xp disk to the Vista boot menu? I didn't install the sata drivers for my xp drive when I was install vista so it didn't know there was another install but now that things are up and running I wanna make an option to switch between the two.

My Vista entry in the boot.ini is: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows Longhorn" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT /USENEWLOADER

I have no clue what I would put in there for the sata xp disk. Any ideas?

Do you run vista also on a SATA drive?

:huh:

because in the boot.ini you can add the line for XP (multiboot) but for this you need to post some more detailed info about the system setup.

:rolleyes:

No vista is on a separate ata hard drive. if there were on the same drive just different partitions I could just change the line for xp to be the partition it was on. Where I am stuck is that it is a separate sata drive and I don't know how to format the boot.ini for that drive.
