A word of warning:
What happened? I have two HDD`s XP on one SATA, Vista on the other IDE.
I decided to format and reinstall Vista every thing went fine until I entered the BIOS to set Vista to boot first. On boot up the message> NTLDR Is Missing funny I thought that’s an XP problem?
Now I have a dual boot system without setting it that way!
The bottom line is if you going to do a reinstall of Vista with two HDD`s make sure the XP OS is disabled completely IE no power to the drive?
Because I left it connected the BIOS dose not recognise Vista as first boot hence > NTLDR Is Missing.
The one good thing is I have a dual boot system now without trying.
