changing operating systems 1 Year, 5 Months ago Karma: 0  
I finally got 2 partitions set up on my computer. One is XP pro, and the other is Vista Ultimate.<br /><br />They are both on different partitions, but now it always boots up to Vista.<br /><br />How can I change it so I can choose between both OS&#039;s?

Hi Anna,<br /><br />I suppose you installed Vista first? If so, you&#039;ll need to edit Vista boot menu (BCD). You can try to do two things:<br /><br />1. Delay the time to display the operating system<br /><br />
QUOTE:
Right click on computer &gt;&gt; properties &gt;&gt; click on advance tab &gt;&gt; click on settings next to start up and recovery &gt;&gt; edit the time to display the operating system to 10- 15 seconds &gt;&gt; click on apply. <br />Boot the PC you might see the xp option for you
// solution from techrepublic <br /><br />2. Download EasyBCD 1.6 and manually add XP as second OS.
