Sounds like what I was thinking when I was trying to get a disk formatted on an older XP machine. Thanks for posting. Interesting.

Just pulled up your blog post doing a search for XP repair. I like XP but it can be tough to fix sometimes. (But it is still easier for me to understand than NT!) Thanks for posting. Interesting.

don’t delete vistas format on the 10GB or else vista will not reconise it as a partition and you will not be able to switch OS systems

However their is a mod to have vista reconise any os system as it really is example xp/98/95/lunix/any
where it is i have no clue

Now it may not be as fast as the click which one you want in beginning but its better than most other ways saying you must uninstall vista completely ways How to duel boot vista and xp my way
With out deleting your vista partition
Its easier done than said you’ll see

First you need only 2 things
Vista install disk for fixing startup
And xp pro install disk to format partition

OK first off I have vista right well I had a backup partition of 10GB
So I formatted it with vista into ntfs format
Then I shut off the pc then put in xp install disk and installed xp on 10GB partition
A ntfs partition I made it
Then I did all the xp setup stuff bla bla
Then turn off and turn on and xp will start of CHOORSE
Now turn off and put vista install disk in fix the startup
Turn back on and vista starts of CHOORSE
Now go into computer management then disk manager
Mark your formatted xp drive as active
Turn off and boom Ntldr will come on
Now put xp install disk back in delete your xp partition
Then turn off/leave xp disk in/ and re partition 10gbs
When Xp is back on partition and you can start up xp/
Turn off and put vista install disk in repair your vista startup on the vista partition
It will restart but it will restart with XP HEHE
Now the last part/ go into computer management/ disk manager
Mark your vista partition as active and turn off and vista comes on

Go into computer management/disk manager mark xp partition as active and turn off and xp comes on and do the same for both

Make it even easier for you to get to computer management copy it to desktop
Easy. Now it may not be as fast as the click which one you want in beginning but its better than most other ways saying you must uninstall vista completely ways

I have a dual boot XP/Vista system. From Vista, I can change the DEFAULT boot. I need to change the DEFAULT boot from XP. Any thoughts? Before someone asks why, I will explain. This is a Home Theatre PC. Until windows gets running, my TV is incapable of displaying the boot sequence (because of the output resolution) i.e. I can't see when it is asking me which OS to boot from. I need to change that before starting or rebooting the system. Any thoughts? je Going back to the original question, I have a modification. I have a dual boot XP/Vista system.

Thanks for the request. One thing you can try now is to: 1) Use the Windows Classic theme for your PC 2) You can also adjust your Vista for best performance: My computer > properties > advanced system settings > settings (under performance) -> adjust for best performance 3) Disable services and programs that open at startup by running msconfig We will have a more indepth guide if you're not sure soon ^^ Btw just wondering, how did you find out about the site?
