I am sorry if this question has been asked before, but I have been around the houses and not find the specific answer to my problem?

I have a PC which was in need of some good housekeeping and so whilst I took the opportunity to reformat my drives for a brand new setup, I decided to try Vista RC1.

I installed the system on my newly formatted C:\ drive and everything was tickety-boo, but issues with games etc..nevermind, this was only a "play around" anyway.

I then installed XP on to a seperate drive, D:\ and set that up back to my normal installation etc as this is my main OS for the time being.

However, no matter what I do there is no way to boot up into Vista - the option does not exist? I have done F8 on boot up, but no option? No option in "start-up and Recovery"

Anyone have any ideas on getting to see my Vista installation?

I *think* you need to re-install the Vista bootloader.

Cheers, I have manage to sort it. I downloaded a little utility called vistaboot pro and this solved my problem.

Mods you can close this now if you wish
