Urgent: How to change the boot system (Vista vs. XP)

[Carlos]

Hi
I have a laptop with 2 HDs running Windows vista. I installed Windows
XP on the second HD hoping to be able to use both. But now my machine
boots directly on XP and won't run any of the applications installed
under Vista. As I have a tight deadline, I need a quick solution to
make my machine boot on vista again (I'll deal with the dual boot
issue later).
Thanks!
Carlos

Hi Carlos,

Scroll down to the "Restoring Vista and dual booting" section in this
article:
http://apcmag.com/5485/dualbooting_vista_and_xp

Alternatively, you could use a third-party application, such as
VistaBootPro:

Thanks all for the suggestions. The repair feature in the Vista CD
didn't work for some reason. But I managed to replace xp with vista.
So now I have 2 vistas running on my machine but at least i can run
the previously installed applications by selecting the old vista on
boot.
