VistaBootPRO 3.1 Beta
Friday, September 29, 2006 by Island Dog | Discussion: Windows Software
Great program for those dual-booting Vista.
"VistaBootPRO makes it easy for both the novice and advanced user to make changes to the Boot Configuration Data store (BCD) without having to use the complex command line application bcdedit.exe. Advanced settings include backing up and exporting your boot loader configuration, making advanced "functional" changes like adding an Operating System to the boot menu, repairing the Windows Vista boot configuration data and modifying other settings which will affect the way that Vista boots."

Not having much luck with it on XP to access anything....had to do a clean install and now Vista doesn't show at bootup, just XP Pro and gaming OS XP Home. I've tried every which way but loose to get VistaBootPRO to recognize Vista (which obviously is still there) so I can boot into it, but nothing works and I can't even to get it to load the two XP's into the boot list. I know the program works in Vista, but just doesn't seem to want to in XP.
I've been looking on the site's forum to seek answers but haven't come across anything as yet. Hopefully an answer will soon present itself...I really don't want to have to do a clean install Vista (after getting it set up just the way I want), because I don't know there are any ways that Vista can be repaired/upgraded via the installation disc.
Ideas anyone? TIA if you can help, but if not I'll just bite the bullet and start afresh....again.
