On a pc preloaded with vista I shrinked the disk and on the
new space I installed w2k. After that, could not load vista
anymore. Then I reinstalled vista from the recovery dvd,
now I have vista but no w2k. What am I doing wrong?
When you installed Win2K you overwrote the Vista bootloader with Win2K's
version that does not recognize Vista. You can add a Win2K entry to Vista's
using either bcdedit from an elevated command prompt or VistaBootPro (from
the .org of the same name).
