timsweb Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Hey, I have vista beta 1 and xp installed on 2 partions, and when starting up then computer, it shows Windows Boot Manager, allowing me to choose between: "Microsoft Windows Longhorn" "Legacy (pre-Longhorn) Microsoft Windows Operating System" So i choose the top one longhorn and then the screen goes blank for a couple of seconds the shows up a BSOD, Any ideas how to fix it? Anyone else having the same problem? Thanks, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Allen Veteran Posted August 2, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 2, 2005 I thought with Vista the BSOD was suppost to be red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimRogers Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Have a look at boot.ini, it should be: [boot loader]timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows Longhorn" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT /USENEWLOADER multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
