« on: December 15, 2007, 11:28:28 AM »
Windows server is on my c: drive and Vista is installed on my J: drive. How the heck do I get booth to dual boot. I have tried playing with both the boot.ini and Bcdedit with no luck. Thanks

    Instead of messing around with  dual-booting, why not use this...

    Are you saying you can only get one OS to boot?  You don't see an option during startup to choose the OS you want to boot?

    This would mean it's a really funky install and you might have to start over...
