I've installed XP on my laptop with preinstalled Vista. I used
EasyBCD1.7 to add an entry to VistaBCD, and it gives me the option to
choose XP at boot time, but, if I choose that option, I still end up
booting to Vista. If I go into disc management and set the XP
partition to active, however, I boot straight into XP, so it's not as
though theres a problem with XP booting.
Structure of disc, as seen from Vista
EISA recovery partition - C: Vista - D: XP - extend partion (the first
3 are primary partitions)
The contents of the bcd:
Windows Boot Manager
--------------------
identifier {bootmgr}
device partition=C:
description Windows Boot Manager
locale en-US
inherit {globalsettings}
default {current}
resumeobject {1107d851-7158-11db-8f96-000ae4f8e160}
displayorder {current}
{80b8c49e-6a93-11dc-bc9e-0016d35dcc79}
toolsdisplayorder {memdiag}
timeout 3
Windows Boot Loader
-------------------
identifier {current}
device partition=C:
path \Windows\system32\winload.exe
description Microsoft Windows Vista
locale en-US
inherit {bootloadersettings}

recoveryenabled Yes
osdevice partition=C:
systemroot \Windows
resumeobject {1107d851-7158-11db-8f96-000ae4f8e160}

Windows Legacy OS Loader
------------------------
identifier {80b8c49e-6a93-11dc-bc9e-0016d35dcc79}
device partition=D:
path \ntldr
description Windows XP
Any clues as to why this might not boot to XP?
Thanks
