Hi I recently installed windows xp on Vista loaded system as dual boot.
i am able to install xp after changing the sata settings in the bios from "a" to "b"(don't remember names ) .
Now I can see both OS when restarting ,but problem is each setting in bios is for one OS ,I mean if change the settings to "a" then I can go to xp and when i tried for vista with sata settings as "a"it showing some blue screen.
Same way if I change the setting to "b" then I can go to vista but not to xp.
How can I solve this problem ?
Its really pain to go bios settign each time I want to switch the OS
