Default Vista and XP Pro Dual Boot setup problem


I am at the last step for having the dual boot working for Vista and XP Pro

The BCDEDIT listed show it as bcdedit -set {ntldr} device partition=C:

This does not work, also, I have logged in as Administrator when using COMMAND PROMPT

Does not work with the following either -> bcdedit /set {ntldr} device partition=C:

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Gary

According to the tutorial, this is what you need.

bcdedit –set {ntldr} device partition=C:
bcdedit –set {ntldr} path \ntldr
bcdedit –displayorder {ntldr} –addlast
bcdedit -set {ntldr} description "Microsoft Windows XP"
