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!!

RE: New Dual Boot issue =(

Sorry for the double post. It was giving me errors saying my post did not go
through so I tried it twice. My apologies.
