Hi, I am trying to install vista, xp home, and a stripped out xp for games onto my computer,

I installed the 2 xp's first and then i installed vista, which gave me the vista boot loader, with a earlier versions of windows option, in this option is the two versions of windows xp.

Is it possible using easybcd to get all versions of windows to be on the same boot loader screen, as i have tried deleting all entries and then adding three windows into the boot loader but its gives the same options, just with different names.

thanks

Use ranish partition manager and you'll be able to boot any amount of different (or same) OS you want, they won't even know the existance of the other if you just unflag them when you install the other OS.

Thanks
