Hi



I have two disks, each with an independent install of vista and xp pro. If I
make vista as the primary disk, how easy is it to tell vista boot about the
secondary disk that contains xp pro for the purpose of dual boot management?



Thanks



Regards

Easy if you use VistaBootPro from here: http://www.vistabootpro.org/

I used this to set up my fairly complicated boot arrangement. You
install it in Vista and use it to set the boot options screen.
