    Problem dual boot XP and Vista

    Hello all,

    I have a problem with my laptop computer (Asus u3sg). There were automatically installed Vista and I wanted to install XP installed games because I realized that Vista was too greedy in resource and therefore I am 'm oriented XP. The problem is that during the installation of XP nikel it works at boot but I have no choice about what I want to boot windows and start all alone in XP.

    I would like to know how to choose between one or the other?
    Maybe by installing gruss, lilo or something else?

    PS: I did not have cd Vista comes with my PC so I could not try to repair or execute a command, however, I have a partition relief for reinstalling Vista but my goal is obviously to make a dual boot between Windows.

    Thank you in advance for your answers

    Your problem is that you install an OS completely autistic and unable to imagine that it might not be all alone and he must do something to allow access to neighboring countries following an OS less autistic. That's why, for example, we always said that we must install Linux after windows or breaking the windows multiboot Linux to save his own is not capable of booting Windows.
    The same thing, but with Vista You can settle your problem with a CD of vista downloaded in one, if you have a valid license, it is not really illegal.

    Regarding the category, yes, go see the symbol of the forum windows. They probably have solutions for such cases. I do not think grub or lilo rule easily your problem (although it is possible, it would require more work than to restore bootloader of vista)
