OS: vista xp


dual boot issue Vista and xp

Hi,

I have bought a Acer Aspire laptop with Win Vista premium installed.

The problem is some of my games did not work on it, so I decided to install XP on one of the partition. It has C drive around 60 gb and D (data) drive with abt 60 gb

I booted with XP deleted the D partition, (the data one) and created two partitions of it(around 30gb for xp and another partition for maybe win2000 later on)

now the problem is once i installed win xp, I booted, installed the drivers, i noticed I was not getting a dual boot between Vista and XP. It just goes straight to load windows XP as if Vista never existed. Once im in XP i can still access my files on the c drive and notice vista is still there.


I have read up that you can use BCD easy, something to correct the MBR.
I have never done this before, or got a idea how to do this?

If one of us guys can help me out it would be much appreciated.

I just wanted to add I dont have the full Win Vista Disc, only recovery discs
