i have 2 partitions on my drive, d:(which has XP) and c:(which has vista)
the boot menu only shows windows xp, how can i get my vista to show in the boot menu

i tried loading the cd and doing vista repair, but it found no errors

ansmwke,

Open a Command Prompt (start > run type: cmd > press enter) run the following command from the Windows Vista DVD, substituting the letter of your drive for <e> here.
<e>:\Boot\ Bootsect.exe –NT60 All

When you restart, you should see the Windows Vista menu. To restore the menu entry for your earlier version of Windows, open an elevated Command Prompt and enter this command:

Bcdedit –create {ntldr} –d “Menu description goes here”

Substitute your own description for the placeholder text, like Windows XP.
The next time you restart your computer, the menus should appear as you want both XP and Vista.
