    Hi All,
    Currently My Dell Inspiron 1520, I am Using Two operating Systems.

    1. Windows Vista
    2. Windows 2003 Server

    I have installed Vista Boot Pro 3.3 for Dual Boot Menu in both the OS.

    When I select Vista Boot Loader, It is uninstalling Legacy Boot Loader (Windows 2003 Server). (Option is like this in Vista Boot Pro 3.3).

    When I Select Legacy Boot Loader, It is Unistalling Vista Boot Loader


    Can any advice how can i get the Dual Boot Menu when i start my Notebook?


    Thanks,
    ZSRK.

    Are Vista and Win 2003 Server both on primary partitions? Or have you made an extended partition with logical partition inside it?

    Should this not be the same as a Vista / XP Dual boot?

    Install Vista, then install WinXp (both on Primary partitions), then manually edit the Vista boot loader (after you have popped in the Vista DVD and "repair" the boot loader?

    Vista has to be the booting system drive in my case. So which is on the boot drive?

    PS. I didn't use Vista Boot Pro.
