I have XP Pro installed on a SATA hd. I disconnected the SATA drive and did a new Vista Bus. installation on an Ide drive. My boot sequence default to Vista. To boot in XP I change the cmos settings. I have downloaded BootPro and would like to know whether this will solve my problem of having to enter my cmos. I am not interested to do a new install?

Hi bakgat and welcome to PROnetworks. Check out this guide to getting a dual boot setup in your situation: Unplugged XP Drive for Vista Setup: Can't Dual Boot to XP

Briefly according to bios: Vista installed IDE 0 MASTER
Xp. Pro installed IDE 2 ATA MASTER
VistaBootPro installed, my dual boot is working providing the ATA drive is activated in my bios as the system disk or first boot option. Unfortunately on re boot the bios revert to the IDE 0.
With Vista and EX presented as boot option, selecting XP my screen goes blank and remain so? I need to somehow permanently set the ATA as the default drive.
Thank you in anticipation.
