    For all those setting up a Windows XP/Vista dual boot PC, or anyone who wants to tweak the Vista bootloader. Or for that matter dual with Linux etc. have a look at EasyBCD (at present ver. 1.6).

    Instead of using MS Boot Configuration Data Editor (a.k.a. bcdedit.exe) in Vista, or the simple options in System > Advanced system settings > Startup and Recovery, this one adds more options, as well as being more user friendly as it seems. As to user friendly, anyone remember Edlin in DOS? grin

    EasyBCD is a freeware application.

      Since you’re still in the “trying” stages, may I point out that Pilgrim gave us a link to VistaBootPRO in his post 608,149 last October. I installed it when I received the Vista Beta and it’s still running, although I’ve not yet upgraded my beta Vista to the live version.

      I think I’ll also give your find a look as well. Thanks!
