Reinstall XP Without Reinstalling Vista
Ok, I had a dual boot config working great but all the sudden I can not boot into XP anymore. After the bootloader screen if I select XP the system just reboots. Who knows why! Anyway I was wondering is it possible to reinstall XP without having to reinstall Vista? Both of the OS are on different partitions.

Thanks,

BK

Re: Reinstall XP Without Reinstalling Vista
It depends on how XP will be installed. Worst case would be brand name OEM. Assuming the best case, non-upgrade (full) XP CD and non-upgrade (full) Vista DVD, after XP is installed you'll need to adjust the boot as outlined in installing XP after Vista:

Re: Reinstall XP Without Reinstalling Vista
Well, Bryan, here is the link, again:
http://www.pro-networks.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=88231

Scroll down to Install Windows XP and do like it says. They expect you to know where to get VistaBootPRO:

You're welcome. Was it easy or difficult?
