Hey im in great need of help.
I have a pc that orignally had XP on one hardrive and i bought another and installed Vista. It worked great and i could select my OS from boot manager until i had troubles with XP and reinstalled the OS.
I cleared the original XP hardrive and installed XP again.
Now when i booted the boot manager was not there and my pc booted what ever Hardive was selected in primary in my BIOS settings..
I worked out that i needed 'easyBCD', so i did so and installed this sofware and again got my bootmanger up and running.
Now i can select ethier Windows Vista or XP but i can only boot into Vista.
When i select to boot into XP my computer just restarts..weird i know!
The only way i can get into my XP OS is to set my XP hdd as the default booting device in BIOS, this means to access Vista i must do the same and change the hardrive to first priority.
So when the Vista is first priority, boot manager starts but will not let me boot to XP and when XP is the first priority hdd i do not get a boot manager screen at all and it boots straight into XP..
I hope this makes sense, spent days looking for an answer..this is my only hope.
Thanks, all help really appreciated.
