| | New Dual Boot issue =( Hello, I installed Vista yesterday on a seperate 160GB SATA drive only to realize it decided to try and install on my existing XP drive which is lacking the total space needed to install. So after all the confusion Vista finally placed itself onto the correct 160GB SATA and not my 200GB SATA which houses my XP Pro. So at first I had the option to dual boot but I reinstalled a fresh install of XP Pro back onto the 200GB as more space was being used by hidden Vista install files when it tried to install initially over my old XP. Well the XP install went well but now I directly boot into XP without even getting an option to choose Vista or XP. Any reasons or clues why this is? Cheers for the help all!! |
