Dual Boot Problems

Dual Boot Problems



Have 3 OS's installed

HDD-0 XP1 & XP2

HDD-1 Vista Ultimate



I had no problems accessing the 3 OS's in the past,

but last week most of the time, I can't choose to boot to XP-2.



When I choose "Earlier Version of Windows" I don't have a choice

of XP-1 or XP-2 and XP-1 is booted.



From a cold boot I sometimes have a choice of XP-1 or XP-2,

but from a restart I don't have a choice----boots to XP-1.

[boot loader]

timeout=45

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP-1
Professional" /FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP-2
Professional" /FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN



How do I fix this problem?
