Q: I had Vista RC1 installed on a partition of my HD, as I mentioned several times in the past etc.
The betas problem is (and is always because I forget) so I normally again on my HD, but each time I start the comp its still me on the selection screen for Vista (standard grrr) and I have XP.
I u0026 copy paste the standard XP boot.ini from Microsoft and did nothing.
my boot.ini looks as such :
[boot loader]
timeout 30
default = = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) S
WINDOW [operating systems]
multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) WINDOWS = “Microsoft Windows XP Professional” / fastdetect
I also the remaining folders from my C: drive created by the installation of Vista.
I went through this last time and I do not think I had this much hassle. Any help would be appreciated.

Re:When you installed vista, it gets frid of using the boot.ini, its now using th eVista boot method called BCD (see here LINKY (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvista/library/85cd5efe-c349-427c-b035-c2719d4af778.mspx))
To get back to Boot.ini, you have to reformat or fix /mbr (something like that)
can you change the order in My Computer, r clilck and properties, Advanced, then startup and recovery ?
