Hi,
The only things that don't seem to make sence are:
"Copy to C:\ of Vista" (This is G:)
and
"Once these files are copied from G:\ to C:\" (It's actualy from C:/ to G:/)
"Add a new entry Legacy OS and Point it to G" ( this is C:/ where XP is)
There is currently 2 OS(s) installed in the boot manager.
Current timeout before default boots: 15
Default OS: Microsoft Windows Vista
Entry # 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Microsoft Windows Vista
BCD ID: {current}
Boot Drive: G:
Windows Drive: G:
S
ystem Bootloader: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Windows Directory: \Windows
Entry # 2

Name: Windows XP
BCD ID: {ntldr}
Boot Drive: C:
Windows Drive:
System Bootloader: \ntldr

That is unless I am missing the mark alltogether

This is what I have at the moment:
The Vista Drive G= Drive 0 and the First Boot Drive!
But still Vista Boots and Xp does not
The VistaPro Boot menu appears, but The Windows XP option causes the same old error.
I'm not usually this thick, where on earth am I going wrong

Make sure the three file fro XP drive C:\ are copied to drive G:\
I see you have them on both, make sure they are the same.
use VistaBootPro
Delete the entry for XP
add a new entry for Legacy/XP pointing to the drive that XP is installed on
see if that does the trick.

Recopied all 3 files (boot.ini, ntdetect, ntldr ) from C: the XP Drive to G: the Vista drive.
Deleted the XP entry from VistaBootPro 3.1
Added new operating System (Windows Legacy)
Called it Windows Xp
On Drive C:
Applied.
Rebooted, the boot menu appeared, Vista works fine, XP Blank Screen and hung
It simply does not seem to want to work
All this to run 1 program
Although I still have to install other programs, but hesitate in case Vista crashes.
Regards
Peter

Ok
You changed your boot order in BIOS and got into XP. If you want we go go about getting Vista working.
If you boot into XP then boot to Vista DVD and do a repair.

Hi,
Vista Works fine, the problem is the same as ever.
That is Vista will boot from VistaBoot menu but Xp won't.
If I want XP I have to use the Bios Boot Menu and boot to Disc 1
Vista is on Disc 0
This is the only way I can get into XP!
Regards
Peter
