    I have dual booted my Pavilion with vista 32 and 64.
    Now the boot menu when i start my computer is to choose from
    Windows Vista or Windows Vista.... it doesnt mentionne if 64 or 32 bits.
    Is there a way to modify the boot menu in a way that i could put Windows vista 32 and Windows vista 64 ?

    Type Msconfig on the search bar.

    Go to the Boot tab, you should be able to rename it from there and change settings

    yep.
    Download a copy of "EasyBCD" there is an option in there under "Change settings" where you can rename the menu choices.

    Not on Vista you can't. Used to be able to get to it via msconfig in XP though.
