Dual Boot

I have dual boot Vita Ultimate and XP. I use this script (bcdedit /bootsequence {ntldr} /addfirst
Shutdown /r /t 0) as a bat file with a shortcut on my desktop to boot from Vista to XP.

Is there a script that will boot from XP to Vista ?
Thanks

I would not use a script. I would fix the boot loader and reboot to each OS.

Dual boot walkthrough/boot loader fix:

Repairing Boot Configuration Data (BCD)
The problem is that Vista and XP use different boot loader utilities in the MBR (Master Boot Record) of your hard drive. XP does not recognize Vista, but Vista will recognize XP, so we need to remove the boot loader that XP just put in with the old Vista boot loader. This is also neccessary If for example, you decide to Install another Version of Vista or Winows 7 (rather than XP), and then decide later to remove the Dual boot. So restart once more, but this time with your Vista disc in the drive...Boot into Vista Advanced Boot Options, select Repair your Computer, and click Startup Repair. (see related link above for walkthrough)

I would still fix your Windows Boot Manager over using 3rd party. Do a repair install on XP and a repair install on Vista to fix the boot loader.
