Getting back to XP after installing Vista

[Damo79]

I have just installed Vista onto a secondary SATA hard drive. I want to have a dual boot system between XP and Vista. I have tried to go into the Vista Boot Client but it cant see the XP installation. The only way i can get it to boot to XP now is to unplug the Vista hard drive.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get a boot menu just after the posting screen asking which version of windows you wanted to boot to. I did it on a X64 bit version of XP and the 32bit version but cant seem to have the same joy here.

Thanks

your need a partition manager like acronis or paragon..if you have both drives connected run acronis or paragon and create a partition..it should detect both drives and you can create the partition ,, and then when you boot your get a choice which os .

well, actually before you installed your new vista os, you should have installed a software called boot selector or any kind of that ,becasue they would be easy to orginize your boot sectors whatever you have one drive or two drivers , you can even install a operation on a logical partition
