I did try something similar to what you described but without using any additional tools (EasyBCD) to change the MBR without any luck so I was sceptical of your suggestion but it worked a treat! EasyBCD is brilliant and you guys are fantastic. Thanks for all your help! Vadim, thank you very much.

You need to try again to install XP on the same disc with Vista and then when it happens again you need to do the next section: "Making Vista bootable and adding a Dual-Boot utility". After you repair MBR of Vista you need to download EasyBCD in Vista and create entry for your XP. Then after restart you should see boot menu, you choose XP and continue installation of XP from there, it will start installation automatically when you choose XP in the boot menu. It happens some times and this is the way to go around this problem. Vadim Hi Rich,
no problem, you are welcome.

It's really good of you to offer help and I am very grateful. I forgot to say this first time because I'm getting so angry with my computer so apologies for forgetting my manners. P.S.

First I tried installing XP on a seperate HDD, didn't work. Then on same disk as Vista in a newly created partition, didn't work. I'm not seeing anything particular on the screen, it's just after the BIOS screen where it lists the attached drives/devices then it scrolls through a load of text and when it stops it normally goes to the windows loading screen (or you would expect dual boot selection screen if that's how it's configured) but instead it does nothing. I've just unplugged the Vista disk and managed to successfully install and boot XP on the second disk then plugged the vista disk back in and I can boot either now by changing which drive I boot from in BIOS. It's a step in the right direction but far from ideal so if you can help me get Vista and XP working off the same disk (seperate partitions) with a dual boot menu it would be much appreciated.
