i was using 2 os -xp & -vista. In the morning time only my xp crashed so i reinstalled my xp but now my problem is that VISTA boot menu is not showing up.how can i recover my vista boot menu?....

Put the vista DVD nd do a boot recover. It can bring the bootloader back.

I dont know how to do that
but be4 installing vista u should have installed xp
I think there was a tutorial (in tut section) on how to get the bootloader back?

put in vista dvd ... boot with it

then go to system recover or something like that u will get dos prompt type the following 2 commands:

bootrec /fixboot
bootres /fixmbr
