    Dual Boot
    « on: November 01, 2008, 06:30:10 PM »
    I have windows XP on one hard drive in my computer.  I have Windows Vista on my other hard drive.  How do I get it to have a boot menu so I can switch between XP and Vista.  I want XP to be the default.

      Couldn't you just press f8 or f12 on your keyboard at startup and get a boot menu of all the devices? From there you can choose what Hard Drive to boot from. But I'm guessing you want a menu to automatically come up?
