I trying to dual boot with xp, & part of this process involves having
a vista cd to repair the bootloader. But my computer only came with
Restore cd. So I am looking for a utility program to fix the
bootloader (instead of using vista cd to repair it).
I posted this on a different group:
I bought a Gateway computer ( http://tinyurl.com/2x5uwa ) with vista,
but it only comes with recovery CD not the original. I was
following the instruction as per this website http://tinyurl.com/3xepar.
So I installed xp successfully. Now at this point I should be putting
the vista cd and select repair to fix the bootloader. But I only
have the restore cd. I tried putting it in. The first screen it
gives me does not have the vista option. Instead it's a Gateway
recovery screen. You have two options, do you want to run from disc
or from small recovery partition on the hard drive. I assume if I
continue on this path it will partition my system back to one, just
like it was originally. Any ideas? Thanks
