I recently shrunk my 160gb partition down to 120gb so i would have some space at the end of the disk to put Vista... Well i installed vista in that 30gb+ partition and i dont know what happened much after that other than installed drivers to get sound, etc in Vista. Shutdown the computer and now when it starts up it goes right into WIndows XP, like the BCD isnt picking up Vista or anything.. can I just use Windows XP's boot.ini to boot to vista or how do i correct this problem? I want XP to be the default but i want the choice to choose between that and Vista Business...

Thanks
