I installed windows xp on a secondary hard drive. I have windows vista preinstalled on the primary hard drive. I don't know why i cant boot windows vista anymore. I try starting it up then pressing F8 but when i go to choose witch operating system to boot it only shows xp and doesn't show vista.
Well, the F8 Trick only works with dual-boot hard drives (2 operating systems on one hard drive). Go into your BIOS settings (either F1 or F2 on startup) and select one of the two hard drives. One of them HAS to be Vista.
The XP bootloader and the Vista bootloader are completely different. You may have installed the XP bootloader on the Vista drive, wiping out the Vista bootloader. You'll need your Vista disk to repair it.
