Got problem with Dual Boot XP and Vista....

Hi,

I have two WD Raptors 150Gb in RAID 0 for a total of 300Gb of storage. The
RAID is partitioned NTFS in two 150Gb partiotions C: and E:. I have one more
Seagate Barracuda that is drive I: not partitioned just a big drive of 750Gb.

In drive C: I have windows XP Pro 32bit. In the other RAID partition E:, I
want to install Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit.

Last night I did the install everything went smooth until I rebooted. I was
expecting to see the dual boot menu for "Vista" and "Older version of
Windows" but instead the system booted strait into Windows XP.

I checked drive E: (the second partitions of my RAID 0 Raptors) and all the
Vista install was there but the system did not see Vista at all.....

Any ideas how to cure the problem. Do I need to install RAID driver during
Vista Install. I thought that Vista does not need that.....like the F6
command during XP install. If yes where can I find the drivers for ASUS
Striker Extreeme mobo with 680i SLI chipset? And how can I make the driver
disk?

Thank you.

Try this...boot with the Vista DVD and chose the repair option...the startup
repair option
