I havve a fresh Windows XP+SP2, with only one Primary Partition for 60 Go, on
DELL Latitude D610 (BIOS A06).
I have installed Vista Beta 2 and selected the option to have a mutiboot.
XP: C:\Windows has been transfered on c:\windows.old

I have access in the Multiboot menu, but when I selected Old Windows: I
obtained only a blank cursor flashing on the right up corner (no blue screen)

Any Idea, thanks for reply
 
I think you needed to make a new partition to install Vista on. So loading
Microsoft Windows loads Vista, and 'Earlier version' loads up XP.

This is what happens for me, at least.
 
If you only have one partition, then you did NOT setup multiboot.

You irreversibly upgraded your XP installation to Vista.

To get XP Back, reformat the drive, reinstall XP and restore your backups
you made prior to installing Vista.
 
Well, in that case i've screwed up too:P Anyway, if i replace the Vista
folders for the XP folders, do you think that will work? Because now XP hangs
