You can fix this by using VistaBootPro or Startup Repair on a Vista disc if it happens. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/daul-boot-xp-038-vista#post-41908 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 20:03:03 +0000 raphoenix 41908@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>RudyJ,</p> <p>Ensure you boot to XP before doing Repair.</p> <p>If you are doing a Clean Install of XP, post back because the Vista BCD may have to be repaired also.</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Rick P. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/daul-boot-xp-038-vista#post-41841 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 17:15:34 +0000 whs 41841@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>For your 2 old programs, you may want to check this out. <a href='http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-compatibility-mode-for-xp-2000-etc?replies=4'>http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/vista-compatibility-mode-for-xp-2000-etc?replies=4</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/daul-boot-xp-038-vista#post-41838 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 17:06:53 +0000 RudyJ 41838@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Good day, I formatted my hard drive, installed xp then Vista. Now I need to do a repair on XP. Will doing a repair on XP mess up my daul boot? When booting into XP I go to system properties, startup and recovery tab and enable "time to display list of operating systems". I have XP to run two old programs that I use, that I could not afford to upgrade. Thanks, Rudy. </p>
