    Default multiboot xp and vista help?

    hello.
    I can't boot into xp anymore. I first installed XP then Vista.
    XP is on Disk 0 Partition 1 and Vista is in Disk 1 Partition 2.
    How can I add the XP into the boot menu with BCDEdit ?

    You sure its not bootable or just don't know how to access it? Windows Vista
    installs a new boot manager, you should be able to access Windows XP from
    the legacy boot manager. If its not that, I think there is an option to use
    the bootsec.exe command to restore XP and make it bootable again.

    Okay thanks Andre.
    Now I only need to figure out how I can add XP into the bootmenu or make it
    the primary boot system again :)
