Boot manager messed up

[snypercore]

i had VISTA and XP on a dual boot , when i started my PC an app called HIRENS BOOT MANAGER or something simialr which i have no idea where it came from loaded up and asked which OS to boot, since then i have just reinstalled a different windows XP and now i dont get asked which to boot just boots straight to XP and the boot manger doesnt load up now? any suggestions?

Google EasyBCD. It will allow for you to dual boot between Vista and XP. Just make sure you have the boot.ini info from you XP boot ready so you can add it to the Vista boot manager.

before i try this you know i cnat get into vista at all only XP right? this will still work?

Yes this will install in XP or Vista. When you install it you will have to add the Vista Boot Manager which EasyBCD does. From there you will add your XP boot info to that.
