Default Installing XP after Vista and Dual Boot Problem Solved

I had problem with this dual boot after buying this Vista machine... I installed Xp to run some application... then my Vista was lost and I didn't find the necessary drivers for XP in my new machine .... so I ve to go back to VISTA re installation, but I had my XP in F drive ... which after Vista resinstallation I could not boot by default or choosing the option at boot ... so I had to copy the Boot folder and the files ntldr, NTDETECT.COM, boot.ini, bootmgr to the root derectory of XP ... then I downloaded the VISTABOOT pro and installed ... then running that I clicked on System Boot Loader tab there and and chose Windows Vista Boot Loader for all drives to be installed .... and then I went to Manage OS Entries Tab and changed the name for Legacy Windows Sytem to Windows XP , Changed the boot drive to the correct one(for me it was F drive, dpends where you earlier installed XP) and Applied the updates ... then when I restrated the system I found both the booting option let me have dual boot ... Wow ... after a lot it feels really good ... Thanks Folks ....
