I had had Vista installed on my Dell laptop. I decided to dual boot that with XP (Don't Ask Why) So i partitioned the drive and installed xp on that partition. The problem is, the only os showing up is the xp, and not vista, although all the files and stuff on C: are there. Any ideas why and if i can get back to vista or do i have to reinstall?
