i had xp. i then installed vista on another partition. i now have a dual boot menu which all works fine. i want to edit the time it shows the list of os's and i also want to change the default one. i have tried the boot.ini in xp and it only lets me change the xp stuff. it also says i need to use bcedit.exe or something like that to edit vista options. i can find this file but when opened on either os it opens a cmd window which later closes after quickly displaying some writing. so how can i change the boot options? ... i also need to do this because the vista beta wont last forever so i will want to get rid of it soon and just have xp.
