Dual Booting Help


Recommended Posts

The only times I have dual booted is when I have dual booted nix and windows. The nix installers did it auto and now I have no idea what I need to do. I have a Windows XP HardDrive and a Windows Vista Harddrive. I did not have the Windows XP Hard Drive on when I installed Vista so the "Windows Boot Manager" didn't install. How can I dual boot these drives?

Thanks.

Look for boot.ini

This is what mine looks like personally - Yours might not end up exactly the same - but this should give you an idea of what you need to add

[boot loader]
timeout=30
NOBCD
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows Longhorn" /FASTDETECT /USENEWLOADER  /NoExecute=OptIn
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /FASTDETECT
