hello.
I can't boot into xp anymore. I first installed XP then Vista. XP is on Disk 0 Partition 1 and Vista is in Disk 1 Partition 2. How can I add the XP into the boot menu with BCDEdit ? - Lars |

You sure its not bootable or just don't know how to access it? Windows Vista
installs a new boot manager, you should be able to access Windows XP from the legacy boot manager. If its not that, I think there is an option to use the bootsec.exe command to restore XP and make it bootable again. -- -- Andre Windows Connect | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "Lars" <bartafterdark@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:B937175B-44E9-40BA-AA78-41A7B5EDAB63@microsoft.com... > hello. > I can't boot into xp anymore.

Okay thanks Andre.
Now I only need to figure out how I can add XP into the bootmenu or make it the primary boot system again ![]() "Andre Da Costa [Extended64]" <andred25@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:%238PQs4zPGHA.3432@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... > You sure its not bootable or just don't know how to access it?
