re: Dual Boot anyone ? Monday, September 26, 2005 at 4:28 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Wendy Krieger (1 messages posted) The Vista bootmanager is different to previous versions of NT, and older NT versions appear in the legacy menu. Both the legacy menu and the main menu appear in boot.ini. To move a Windows to the main menu, you need to add the switch /USENEWLOADER, and copy the file winload.exe from the vista\system32 to the otherwin\system32 directory. Windows NT 4.00.1386 sp 6a and Windows NT 5.00.2195 sp4 (2k), boots from only the legacy menu. The above trick does not work with these systems. Windows NT 5.10.2600 SP2 (XP), and i presume Windows NT 5.20.3790 svr boot from both the main and legacy menus (without modification), as long as you do the trick above. Windows NT 6.00.5112 beta1 boots from only the main menu. The legacy menu does not work for it. Anything that boots from a bootsector (eg Linux, OS/2, DOS, Windows 9x), will boot from either menu.
