| how do I get dual boot menu back? I have WinXP on drv C and Vista on D. Dual boot works fine unitl I upgraded drv C to a larger drive. The system won't boot after I imaged content of drv C to the new drive. To get XP running, I did the fixboot/fixmbr from WinXP CD and Win XP works fine now but I have no dual boot menu. Should I try to re-install Vista again? TIA |

Use VistaBootPro to restore your Vista boot or you can run startup repair from the Vista DVD "newbie" <newbie@invalid.invalid> wrote in message news:uqTBB39ZHHA.4888@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...[color=blue] >I have WinXP on drv C and Vista on D.

| Re: how do I get dual boot menu back? I've used it twice, and it fixed boot problems on two different desktops. Did not work on a laptop one time, had to use Startup Repair from the Vista DVD. -Michael "Charlie Tame" <charlie@tames.net> wrote in message news:eKyxpzJaHHA.3612@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...[color=blue] > Have you actually got Vistaboot Pro to work? :) > > Charlie > > "John Barnes" <jbarnes@email.net> wrote in message > news:%23jAzzj%23ZHHA.4668@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...[color=green] >> Use VistaBootPro to restore your Vista boot or you can run startup repair from the Vista DVD >> >> "newbie" <newbie@invalid.invalid> wrote in message >> news:uqTBB39ZHHA.4888@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...[color=darkred] >>>I have WinXP on drv C and Vista on D.

| Re: how do I get dual boot menu back? I had good results with it early on, then some problems, and again worked well for me early in RC1. I haven't had any use for it for about 4 months, but noted that Colin had continued to talk about it pretty much until he stopped posting. Some have reported back that it has worked for them. Others not. Curious, have you had problems with it or EasyBCD, which also worked for me, but have found their site to be too undependable.
