I made a bobo! I installed Vistaboorpro and for the boot choice I have selected vista beta and put a 1 second timeout for xp now when the startup screen comes on it blows past me and tries to load xp and hangs.

I now have booted in safe mode but when I select Vistabootpro, a vista window pops up and says it is checking xxxxx or something and then goes away and I can't load vistabootpro. Any suggestions?

thanks

Yeah --- open msconfig and change the Timeout setting there.

If this is preventing you getting into XP, you should manually edit the boot.ini file so that you have a longer timeout

NOTE --- Vista and XP use separate Timeouts that need to be managed separately smilenod

I don't want xp to boot at all just vista. What do I do in this case?

In VistaBootPRO just set the timeout to zero
