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
