Hello
I have 2 partitions, but I can only get the PC to boot from one. Before I had vista and then I installed XP and now it only boot XP. I tried to go to startup options and I went on the bootup programming, and I tried to change it but it doesn't seem to work (note I did just guess what programming to replace it with.)
This is what I did now:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(0)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows Vista" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
On the startup the option to choose Windows Vista comes up but when I press it nothing happens.
I would appreciate it if someone who understands this problem could explain to me what I can do to be able to use either partition.
Thanks
