| | Dual boot xp/vista from seperate hard drives I upgraded to vista and have to have xp loaded to install vista. I have seperate hard drives for each. I want to dicsconnect the xp hard drive but get the bootmgr missing error code when I switch boot drives in bios. The xp install does not run but is needed for the many vista installations i end up performing. I would like to get vista to boot without the boot manager...any sugestions anyone? |

| | RE: Dual boot xp/vista from seperate hard drives But I can. The dual boot was installed on the xp hard drive. Every time I boot the computer I get the choice of which operating system to start xp or vista.
