    Hello All,
    I had installed windows vista on m1530 after this i had installed win xp pro sp1 for dual boot option but after installing XP, machine is booting for XP only. Machine is booting in win xp by default.
    I had done changes in boot.ini file but no help. If i try to boot with windows vista only blank screen appears.
    But in xp it works fine but most of features are not available.

    Is there any way to come out of this and have both OS options available for booting?


    Thanks in advance,
    Rajesh Gawai.
