Default Vista XP Dual boot problem!
Hey peeps, my lappy in sig came preinstalled with Vista, but I wanted to use XP too
So I created a partition and continued to install XP at restart
Now the problem is that I cant boot into Vista! Only XP

So the question is how do I get back into vista?

Any help at all will be great, cos this really sucks at the moment

Rep+ to all helpers

See if this can helps. Backup data before you try it. Good luck.

Start from step #8 of the option1.

I did the opposite - Had XP, wanted Vista as well. Used BootVistaPro, changed the boot.ini, and now both work.
