Vista Dual Boot

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 18:12:47
Yesterday I installed XP on a second hard drive. XP edited the MBR which meant I could no longer boot into Vista. I thought I was in for a long day troubleshooting. First things first, I put in the Vista disk, selected recovery, asked it to repair my startup, voila! Vista booted but now I needed to setup the dual boot menu and I was sure this was going to give me grief. I read about VistaBootPRO and thought it must either be spyware, mailware or just not work. To my surprise it was free, clean and worked a dream. With all systems go I was happy to be back up a running within 20 minutes of my first issue which I thought was going to take me all day to resolve.

Cheers
