Help with bat file for Vista reboot-Update-SOLVED

[matnat]

I like the dual boot walkthroughs.. Would have been nice to have as I was copying partitions and setting up 2 XP and 2 Vista loads on my multiple HD's.  Never fear it all worked out.


When I installed XP originally, it naturally chose to install itself to the C:\ drive.

Strangely enough... When I installed Vista it named its install drive C:\ as well.  Fine by me.

Now when I'm in XP it see the Vista drive as E:\.
Vista sees XP as E:\

Conveniently enough they just swap drive designations upon boot. So I never have to deal with the issue of my OS being on a "strange" drive letter.
Note: Vistaboot pro does show a different drive letter for XP. However this doesn't seem to phase XP at all, bootloader says one things, XP does another...

Is this common? or am I special?

As this is somewhat on a related topic I will post this link:

It may look unrelated at first but scroll down to see the links of interest which sheds light on all sorts of booting issues on different computer setups.

For me these articles were a goldmine.

Any preference vs.  Easy BCD ?

Whatever works and stays the heck outta my way is my motto....

Cool.
Was hoping that maybe you'd tried both, and would have an opinion to share.

Vista bootPro won't automatically change your default with just one click as well as force reboot..... should read the entire post...thanks anyway.
