Lame problem I have with this. I just recently acquired Vista and installed it on my second HDD. After installation and everything, it restarts, but it loads straight into XP. It never shows me the boot screen where you can choose Vista or XP. I figured out a sort of workaround, but it is the biggest hassle in the ****ing world.

The way I have to dual boot is by going through BIOS, selecting the boot order, and then making it boot from the HDD with Vista on it instead of the one with XP.

What the hell do I have to do?

I forgot to mention one HDD is IDE the other is SATA.
 
Doesn't matter now. Installed Vista as my main OS.
:D
 
You could have just pressed F8 while it boots and select the OS you wish to use. :)

Glad you fixed it though. I want vista :(
 
Since you fixed it I still want to give a massive +1 to VistaBootPro, it's an awesome app.

That's what I was thinking. :P

I'd rather test out an OS that costs so much money then just go out and buy it and hope for the best..
