How to dual boot (Vista + XP)!
July 31st, 2016
you have to install the oldest OS first, so first XP, then vista
First make 2 partitions in your hd then install windows xp in 1 partition
later install vista in the 2 partition
Refer to the following tutorials:

ya i hav seen but i want keep both os in 2 different drives not in a single…
it’s the exact same. Just don’t make a partition and select the location of the second OS to the second drive.
Like this:
C:/ – XP
D:/ – CD Drive
E:/ – Second Drive
So select E:/. If you don’t know what the drive letter is, install XP first onto C:/ then in XP view my computer and check their.

i told earlier also i installed vista in drive c: & then xp in drive d: both r different partitions..now wat???
try this Insert your Vista DVD and boot from it. There used to be an option of “Automated Restore” which will identify the problem and fix it.
sud i have to install xp 1st then install vista in another drive???
that is the best way because the newer win would always find the older and add it to menu whilst the older when installed second will not but it can be done eiother way on different discs or partitions and I have never know boot pro to fail if both wins are fully and correctly installed and are not modded versions
I would at the state you have reached format both drives and start again (back up anything you may wish to keep )
Solved..installed xp 1st then vista..now working fine…thanxx guys…
you have to install the oldest OS first, so first XP, then vistaYes! Always. The boot loader of whatever is the newest should find it automatically on the MBR.
