Vista - Dual boot niggle

Hi,
I have a separate HDD which I have partioned to allow me to install Vista
builds and test but since installing RC2(5744) the screen which allows me to
choose which build to boot only gives me approx. 2 secs to choose where
previously it was 30 secs. Anyone any ideas why?

Hi,

Not sure why, but to fix it run the command prompt with elevated privileges
by right clicking it in the start menu and choose the option to run as
administrator. From the prompt, run "bcdedit /timeout 15" (without the
quotes of course), where 15 is the number of seconds to display the boot
menu.
