-Medic- Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Well i was searching for how tu use the new vista boot loader or display my two Windows xp in the same time with Vista "Longhorn", So I found this : Source I'm not shure if this is posted here all ready.But Chris123NT made a guide to get rid of the 2 bootloaders at startup. :) "This will get you down to only 1 boot screen. It is really easy: On my system my main drive has two partitions. One for XP and the other for Vista. My XP installation is on C: and my Vista installation is on F: I copied the F:\Windows\System32\winload.exe (Vista Installation) file to C:\Windows\System32 (XP Installation) Then I edited the boot.ini file as follows: Original boot.ini: [boot loader] timeout=10 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSOFF multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows Longhorn" /NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSOFF /FASTDETECT /USENEWLOADER New Boot.ini: [boot loader] timeout=10 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSOFF /USENEWLOADER multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows Longhorn" /NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSOFF /FASTDETECT /USENEWLOADER As you can see I just added the /USENEWLOADER switch to the XP Installation. I get only one boot menu. Problem solved. It works great!" And it works now more two boot loader :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hais Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 fantastic tip, my way of beating it was to hold down the enter button for a second instead of just pressing it so the second menu didnt come up... but this is 10x better :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
