Got some files on pc which I m not able to remove. So I wanna boot into safemode and remove them. But I m not able to boot into safemode of Windows Xp. I got dual boot - Vista and XP. On starting my PC when I press F8 it shows me options to choose safemode and when I select safemode, Vista's safemode is started and not Xp's. Any idea what to do?
