Alright geniuses, I've got myself a little problem. I have 2 SATA hard drives in my computer, one with Vista, and one with XP. Now... When i go into my BIOS and change my boot priority to my XP Drive It boots up off of the Vista Hard drive... Essentially the only way i can get my XP drive to start up is to unplug my Vista drive. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi,
Are you wanting to use Vista as the System drive thru which you can choose to boot either o/s?.
If you boot into Vista, show hidden operating system files, and post screenshots of both drives so we can see the relevant boot files, that would help.
Also a screenshot of Disk Manangement may be useful.
