Title says it all.
XP installed on C:\ which i have been using for ages.
Vista recently installed on F:\

How do i create a boot menu thingy to give me a choice, cos atm it just goes straight into vista.

Thanks again :hello:

press either F6 or F8 while booting, and you should be able to select which OS.

Thanks scott, no go tho.

The solution (if anyone cares) i had to install (in vista) a prog called EasyBCD, really simple to use it gave me the option of adding items to the boot menu.

Now when i boot it gives the options of XP or Vista

:D
