Hey Thor, if you are using 2 drives to dual boot it is normally possible to manually select a drive on boot up which negates the use of a boot loader, see your user manual for details.

yes, thats what i do already, but i dont wanna do that, too much of a hassle, i mainly installed vista to a completly seprate isolated hard drive beacuse i didnt trust it and i didnt wanna take a chance of it messing up my xp somehow
but yeah when i wanna switch i do go into the bios, i do know my computers very well as i build them, but this little bug is annoying the hell out of me lol
