I ahve a 80 gb hdd with 2 partitions.
First is master and Win xp SP2 installed.
I had clean installed the Vista Beta 2 to the second partition by formatting
partition as NTFS.
I can boot from Vista normally. But when i choose the Earlier Windows from
the boot menu i get the error of NTLDR IS MISSING....
I'm correcting the boot by using fixboot from the XP installation cd it
corrects the xo but then i can't get the boot menu for choosing vista or xp.
When i boot from vista installation dvd and use repairing, i can boot from xp
but then the missing ntldr is assuming again.
I copied both ntldr and ntdetect.com from xp installation cd to c: drive but
it didn't solve too.

Is there anyone has any solution. By th way i can not use the vistabootpro
cause it gaves lot's of errors.
 
I don't have a solution, but advice: The Vista DVD has a BOOT dir.. There is
bootsect.exe. It can be used to restore either Vista boot menu or XP boot
menu. After installing Vista you should not touch the XP cd unless*** you
first use bootsect.exe /nt52 ALL /force (***You cannot boot into Vista
anymore after running this! In XP use /nt60 SYS /force and it MIGHT restore
access to Vista, but I've never tested)
