MacOSXrocksToo Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 What would I type in the boot.ini file on the Windows XP side, to add Windows Vista that is on another Hard Drive on my computer to the Windows XP boot manager list?BTW, I have already looked up how to modify the boot.ini file, I just don't know what to type to add Windows Vista to the list.Thanks! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I don't know if you can do that - Vista has a different boot manager. It should come in use if you install Vista beside XP. I think.Look up Google for Vista Boot Manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacOSXrocksToo Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 ok, what about setting windows vista as the active partition, then setting Windows XP as the deactive partition, then adding a Windows XP line the the vista bootloader? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I cannot comment on this, as I don't have Vista, and therefore insufficient experience. Did you install XP first, then Vista? If so, I wonder why the Vista boot manager was not automatically activated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacOSXrocksToo Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Well, I have Vista and XP on two separate Hard Drives in my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Well, that does not answer my question. Or did you install it (Vista) on a different system, then transport the HD to the current one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
