XP does not boot after vista installation
hi,
sorry for my bad english, but im from germany.
i was running Windows XP Professional on my pc, but decided to run win vista ultimate 64 bit on a different HDD, because i have 8gb ram.
i installed windows vista on the other HDD, but when i restarted my pc and wanted to boot XP, nothing happened. i read a lot of forum posts the last days, but nothing works. i treid fixboot and fixmbr in the repairconsole (??) of win xp and tried to recreate the boot ini, but nothing helps. now, i can boot xp, but when i see the windoes xp screen and the loading bar, it frezes. i can boot it in save mode. after i tried to fix it with fixmbr, i cant even boot my vista. pls help, im really desperate^^
greetings, oerisch
