Hi,
I had my PC dual-booting between XP and Vista on separate partitions. I bought a new HDD and decided to have XP and Vista on the separate drives. So, using the hard drive management software, I migrated my XP install onto the new drive, and reformatted/repartitioned the old drive for Vista use.
Now whenever I start the computer I am presented with a dual boot screen. Both options say "Windows (default)" and both of them run the XP installation (the only OS I have atm). The boot screen style is the older xp-style (not the screen Vista gave you with the smaller, cleaner text).
I've looked at the boot.ini, but this only has 1 OS in it. I've tried using the "d:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt52 ALL /force" command to undo a Vista dual-boot (found on this site: http://www.istartedsomething.com/200...-boot-with-xp/ ). I've tried using both "fixboot" and "fixmbr" in the recovery console, and neither have fixed it.
I have not yet attempted to re-install Vista, as I want to get this sorted so that it doesn't become a problem after Vista has gone in.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
