Ok I finally got a new HD and installed my copy of Vista on it (32bit Business). I unplugged my XP HD and installed vista then plugged my other HD back in (didn't have time to backup everything and didn't want to install on it on accident).

Once it was installed I plugged my XP HD back in, but whenever I try to select XP as a boot option it just restarts. If I change my bios to boot from the XP HD first it loads up great though.

I downloaded VistaBootPro and on the middle screen added a new OS and set it to drive F, as that was what my XP HD shows up as in Vista. When I tried it as drive C it errored instead of just rebooting as I think it was trying to look for XP boot commands off the vista HD or something :confused:

Anyway, what settings should I use in VistaBootPro/some other software so I can select between Vista and XP on boot?

I tried searching but almost everything I found had them both on one HD not two.
