Hi,
This is my first post here.
I'm having problems with dual boot of Windows Vista Ultimate.
I've installed two Windows Vista Ultimate in my machine, but only the last Vista I installed is the one that boots.
How can I choose between the two Vistas I installed.
I also installed each Vista in diferent HDD.
Thank you for the information you could provide.

When you installed the second Vista was the harddrive with the first Vista plugged in?

I have never installed 2 Vista's like that only XP Pro and then Vista and Vista saw the XP and asked if I wanted to include it in the bootloader or some such language. I would have thought it would have done the same thing with 2 instances of Vista, but I could be wrong.
Have you tried vista boot pro the free software available here http://www.vistabootpro.org/ |

In the past I've installed two XPs, the machine asked me with which XP you want to start.
Then I installed XP and Vista, the machine asked me if I want to start with Vista or an older version of windows.
Now the problem is when two Vistas are installed, I can't choose with which one I want to start.

Was your first Vista pre-installed?I've had two Vistas installed with no problems but I had installed both myself.

hi, I've actually the same problem. I have two vista 64 installs on separate partitions and they show up fine in the boot selections menu on system start. However, I dont have time to enter my selection, it shows the menu for less than a second, then autoboots the default vista.
What am I doing wrong?
