| 817156 | 2009-10-05 08:07:00 | Hi all, I have two hard drives. Vista on one and XP on the other. Normal boot goes to Vista. I went to XP to do some updates and keep it current, now I cant get it back to Vista. At start up, I get the option of Vista or an earlier version, but it wont change down to Vista. Do I need to go to Startup and Recovery in My Computer and change something? The dropdown has XP as the default operating system, but no Vista. Any suggestions? |

| 817159 | 2009-10-05 11:14:00 | My keyboard is a USB one. Do you mean it might have to be a PS2 one to work? The USB one has worked beore when I wanted to go to the earlier version at bootup. | *Sparky* (311) | ||
| 817160 | 2009-10-05 11:17:00 | Sounds like a keyboard issue to me too. Make sure USB keyboard is enabled in the BIOS, I had the same problem the other day. If you cannot find such option, in case it's an older motherboard, you'll have to find a PS2 keyboard to use during boot. Good luck. Gregor |
