I have Vista Beta 2 and XP installed. Both are on different hard drives, but when I restarted Vista and wanted to get into XP it wouldn't boot it would just sit there, so I reset the computer.

Then all of a sudden my motherboard after doing Backup CMOS.. OK kept on saying Disc Read Error. I tried booting with each hard drive but then it would just sit after Backup CMOS.. OK. So I test the drives in other computers, and in an external hard drive enclosure and they are just fine. I tried changing the IDE port from IDE1 to IDE2 didn't work, tried different IDE cables same thing.

Is my motherboard dead?

go into your bios, and make sure the drive that you have xp on, is set to be the first drive the pc boots from...
