1. I have 3 drives installed in my computer :
Primary IDE Master - WinXP Primary IDE Slave - Files Secondary IDE Master - Vista
To get Vista to work i have to disconnect all cables and place Vista drive on the Primary IDE Master Cable, disconnecting the others.
i Would like to have it to Boot Vista with all drives connected as above.
I added the following line to my Windows XP Boot.ini multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Vista" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT /USENEWLOADER
Using this line i get a Black Screen and my hard drive light appears on.
Anyone any ideas ?
Thanks
My Boot.ini settings :
[boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Vista" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT /USENEWLOADER

Dual Boot XP Drive1, Vista Drive3 - Vista Black Screen issue
Vista uses a completely different boot system. Once Vista is installed, you cannot edit a multi boot system with boot.ini. You have to edit the BCD file installed by Vista. The easiest way to do this is with a program called VistaBoot Pro, which can be obtained at:
http://www.pro-networks.org/vistabootpro/intro.php
This program can be run from either Vista or XP and allows direct editing of the Vista BCD file.
