booting problems
-
OK, so I installed Vista, and then found I needed to keep using XP for some dev work. So, I got XP to repair itself, as a first attempt, and amazingly, it worked ( I expected to have to format the drive ). Funny enough, it also wiped my boot.ini, now I can't boot to Vista. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this ?

That's the worst set of instructions I've ever seen.

Boot from the Vista DVD, do a repair? It's probably the best option. XP's Setup will have overwritten the Master Boot Record, which contains the new boot manager for Vista. Vista doesn't use boot.ini.
Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
