| 729797 | 2008-12-16 20:54:00 | Hi all, I have XPP & Vista Home Prem installed and want to change the boot operating system names from earlier microsoft windows and microsoft vista to just XP & Vista..... In XP you could edit the boot.ini file, but you cant seem to in Vista, yes just getting used to it now... Any ideas.. |

| 729802 | 2008-12-17 00:43:00 | :blush: OOPS my mistake - I was thinking XP Pro and XP home for a moment - But it can be done as I did it with XP home and Vista RC1 - but that was a while back when RC1 first came out - cant member fully how I did it though - Now I just chuck in a Different drive with what ever OS or I'm going to start using that Virtual Box - I tried VM ages ago and the damn software wouldn't even run on the Machine. VB does and good. | wainuitech (129) | ||
