Re: Upgraded to Vista from XP and now on startup computer tries to run XP

Hi,

If you upgraded, there should not be any XP at all, an upgrade subsumes the
existing installation as part of the license. The upgrade would have moved
the existing XP installation to a windows.old folder and left it on the root
of the drive. You wouldn't be able to boot it under any circumstances.
Please clarify what exactly is happening when you start the system. Is there
a boot selection menu? If so, what is the default?
