Hi,

I installed XP first then vista. Everthing was going fine, then i installed another XP home on another drive. so now there are 3 OS. I can see only XP OS options. Tried to add VISTA in the boot.ini throough recovery console. But it is showing only XP partitions. No Vista entry. How to add the Vista Boot entry in the boot loader. :?:

I also dont have bootable Vista DVD. just a normal Vista DVD,can it help

Go to the recovery console of windows VISTA and there type fixboot and fixmbr, this should solve the problem...
