Have you changed the bootup options for dual boot in the system properties dialog box in the control panel?

This option will not show up until after he has setup a dual boot system...

        look in advanced system settings, for windows bootup or startup. There should be a drop down menu that says all the operating systems that you have installed on your computer. Select dual boot

        I would suggest reading the Help files for VistaBootPro...as i stated i have not used it but it came highly recommended...
        Worst case scenario would be to start over.

          I only see the tabs for the following.

          Computer Name
          Hardware
          Advanced
          System Protection
          Remote

            I was explaining to programming pat that until you have successfully setup a dual=boot system that option will not appear where he said it was...
            Have the VistaBoot Pro Help files been of any assistance ? ?

            I did this with the first RC of Vista when it first came out and it worked fine for me without VB Pro...

            Something has been missed.

                I just use Virtual PC. How do i use it? I am not wasting time. There was only one OS listed in startup and recovery so i completely removed DOS. I don't know why this isn't working for me.

                I don't either.
                As i said it worked fine for me with DOS 6.2 and an RC release of Vista...
                Sorry it didn't work out for you.
