Installed SP3 on a 10gig partition, the OS boot menu changed, and Vista isn't on the list. I didn't expect this to happen. Vista is still on my C:\ partition.
Help. ._.
I don't think that the default windows bootloader supports multiple operating systems.
It supports Ubuntu. :l
Control Panel > System > Advanced > Startup and Recovery. Does Vista show up in Default operating systems? Probably not, if it doesn't then click Edit. Depending on how many partitions you have this next step might vary, it should say something like
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
where the partition number is different. What you need to do is copy and past the line you have and put it under Operating Systems, so it should look like this
[boot loader]
timeout=30 (this just means how much time you'll have to pick an operating system)
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
Now let's say you have XP installed on partition(1) and Vista on partition(0). You'd want to change the second line to
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(0)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows Vista" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
for it to work. If you do this correctly you'll see these two choices when you boot up. But for god's sake don't go changing Default Operating System before you know what line to use.
Uh, I used a program to make the Vista bootloader the default, and to add XP to the list just now. ._.
Oh well good for you :mad:
;9
and you need one more than the other why?

I was encountering a Vista specific problem in the GECK (http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php/Main_Page).

I can't sacrifice Vista's UI for better performance. It's too hard for me. ._.

I think Vista's visual style is disgusting. I'm talking about the interface itself.
You screwed up, live with it?
Yeah that seems enough >:C
not that I read your site, but you can't just right click and run in XP Compatibility?

I laughed really hard
irock is probably getting pissed off about the fact that no one here is actually helping him and just stating that xp is better.

your not helping your case ;p
The only thing wrong with Vista is with its insane RAM usage. ?_?
I prefer the interface. ;]

You don't seem to understand the difference between a GUI and RAM usage.
ITT: We tell Irock vista sucks.
No, nouman is out fly fishing. Vista has a great UI, it just sucks a lot of your power. Oh, make sure you disable Aero.

Yeah, cause we all use luna right?
Luna is a visual style, changing your visual style still gives you the same GUI layout. I'm obviously not talking about the visual styles themselves. I think both aero and luna are disgusting.
This thread is dumb now.
It became dumb after this post.
