Follow these steps: 1. Reboot your computer and test out the new boot menu. Sorry, but the info you gave me didn't work, So I looked up on google and found this site they said to use the Easy BCD and did a few thing that they said and it work!
Just the Part on the begining thats all and i restarted and it work! So you are fully able tochoose which os to boot into either os at start up? Post Reply. Top Contributor. Cakewalk by BandLab and Studio One 4. Why dont you see the option screen at boot? I have 64 bit and win 7 and get the option screen to choose which os to boot from.
All you need to do is modify your boot manager. Easy BCD is good but one that is even simpler to use is Vista Boot PRO This is very point an click and you can add or subtrack, change the time out change the order all with a few mouse clicks and keystroks.
Yes you can plug in your second drive it will not hurt anything neither will using it as a dual boot and in fact using seperate drives is the better way to setup a dual boot.
Now what you will need to do is first get yourself a Copy of XP. Then you will need to get all the drivers that you will need from HERE.
You should first look at your hardware that shows up in device manager and use that as a guide for which drivers you will need to get especially where there are multiple listing under common header. Now for the tricky part and that is the install of XP. The problem will be in getting the correct SATA driver for the install. If yhou have a internal floppy it might make it a bit easier or not.
If you do not have floppy then you will need to slipstream the SATA drivers into the install disk using a program like nlite. HERE is a link on a procedure that will show you how to do this. I'll start first thing Tomorrow, I hope I'm able to pull it off. By the way, I forgot that you can do that on Dell's web site, to get the Drivers and utilties thanks! My two Vistas are totally separate - on separate hard drives.
I am worried about what I am reading with Vista changing or messing up an XP install. Can anyone recommend a better way of using 2 separate drives for this? I suppose I could leave the side of my case open and swap cables But for every boot, I dont really want to do that Can I boot from my external USB 2.
I'm a little late to the party here. I am interested in the Vista Beta. I dont want to undo my xp install. I can use a separate drive and would like to instead of partitioning. I'm reading elswhere that you cant load vista from an external hdd Are you doing a dual boot charles?
Thank you Charles. I have yet to load all the various drivers needed for the limited peripherals installed on this development computer - if they are available. So far I have determined that there are no Vista drivers available for Matrox video cards and the word on the forums is that there won't be any until Vista is released to manufacture - really not good enough.
Now I wonder if any of my modems will work with Vista PeteC ,. I think I will put in one of those drive bays that lets you swap hdds. Seems like the least amount of headache.
