dual boot vista xp ?

[dwolf]

I have Xp on the original drive and now Vista on a new internal drive

How do I set my pc to give me the boot option, besides f12

And how can I get some of my personal settings on over..
Internet Explorer and Outlook express my first priority..
Maybe sounds schemes ?
I'm sure there's other I'm not thinking of at the moment
I know files can just be dragged

Without having provided information on how you installed Vista you might consider installing Vista Boot Pro, EasyBCD, or BootItNG.(The first two are free, the latter fee based).

In XP, under accessories>system tools is a 'FILE AND SETTINGS TRANSFER
WIZARD'
run it, tell it this is my old machine, save the file somewhere you can find
it.
In Vista, I think they call it something else (still in accessories>system
tools), and I am not in front of a Vista machine at the moment.
But you can import the XP settings using the Vista wizard.
When I installed Vista as dual boot, I get a menu that says Vista or Older
Windows version at every boot. LOL
