cropcircles Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Dual Boot XP and Vista For dual boot with WinXP + WinVista, simply copy: - winload.exe - wininit.exe From your Windows Vista "system32" folder in same dir under XP. Now modify boot.ini, with "/USENEWLOADER" option. Example: [boot loader] timeout=10 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows Longhorn" /USENEWLOADER /FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /USENEWLOADER /FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
