[HELP] Vista OS Disappeared
I have 3 different Drivers, On 1 of them I have Vista Installed (e.g 'D:/').
Today, After I installed XP on DIFFERENT drive (e.g. 'E:/'), i can no longer chose my Vista OS from the OS Boot Menu. Where the hell did my vista OS gone? How do I chose to boot Vista again? Thanks! |

Boot off the Vista DVD and run a startup repair and see if that helps. XP uses boot.ini file and that killed the bootloader file Vista uses.

Hahahahah, well you didn't want it to work 100% did you?
Usually when installing XP and Vista together, you need to install XP, and then Vista. Given the current situation I am not sure how you'd go about solving this w/out wiping the drive and starting fresh. I am guessing now that the boot.ini file is missing....geeesh. You can try booting off the XP disc and going into recovery console. From there you could run fixboot, but I have the feeling that Vista will magically disappear again. Is it possible for you to start fresh or not? Maybe someone else remembers how to do this, I don't. edit: Try this link. I'm not sure about the source, but a quick read through it looks legitimate.
