Sorry to bump a thread, but this seemed better than starting a new one. I am in a similar situation, but havent actually done it yet I had XP installed, and then installed Vista. All working fine. But I have since formatted my XP install so its Vista only (the XP one was very old, broken and due for a reinstall). Is it now possible to reinstall and manually edit something (i understand Vista no longer uses the boot.ini?) in order to get the selection menu back? Or should i just live with Vista on its own now?
