Dual book one failed

by philldmc . Updated 16 years, 7 months ago

My system originally had XP pro, I added a second hard drive and installed Vista for testing programs and troubleshooting for clients.

I installed Vista as a Dual boot. So when I start my computer I always had a chose of Vista or Ealier Verions of Windows, the earlier version is XP.

I believe my XP drive has developed bad sectors and will not boot, however I get to the point of choosing vista and I can boot into vista just fine.

Once in vista i was able to backup all my files but the question I came to ask myself is how to I set it now that I can remove my XP drive and boot off vista…if I remove the drive vista fails to load..normally I just reinstall but as an It person I would like to know.. any suggestions?
