Dear NPF: Many thanks. So far, it works. Upon recollection, I have used
BootPro before on another workstation. I would have preferred to learn to
set the SysConfig and/or Registry. I wonder if when I should choose to use
the other 2 remaining unused SCSI HDs & load them w/ XP Pro or Vista Ult, I
will again have the problem of displaying all the O/S choices on boot up? I
question why I lost the display of Vista after loading the newer XP Pro. My
best, Thomas
When you installed XP, the boot sector was replaced with one that
executes XP's ntldr when you boot from the hard drive. To fix the
problem use the bootsect /nt60 sys command to replace the boot sector
with one that runs Vista's bootmgr when booting from the hard drive.

Hello, Andy:
Thank you. That is what I was looking for. There must be a CMD line
in Vista that supercedes the installation of the Win 2K Pro & XP Pro as the
order was W2K as the 1st O/S on SCSI O; then XPPRO on SCSI 1; then VistaUlt.
on SCSI 2: that sequence worked to show all 3 O/S on boot-up. Using the
"lower" XP Pro O/S for the 4th O/S (on SCSI 3) is what over-rode the Vista
boot mgr.
Thanks to both you and Nepatsfan for the fix/options.
Thomas
