Urgent: How to change the boot system (Vista vs. XP)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi
I have a laptop with 2 HDs running Windows vista. I installed Windows
XP on the second HD hoping to be able to use both. But now my machine
boots directly on XP and won't run any of the applications installed
under Vista. As I have a tight deadline, I need a quick solution to
make my machine boot on vista again (I'll deal with the dual boot
issue later).
Thanks!
Carlos
