But see if your POST thingie gives any error codes.....that's what it's for!!! Check the manual from the motherboard and see if there's a failure or something.

If you want to modify the bootmenu of vista use either

EasyBCD
Download EasyBCD 1.7.1 - NeoSmart Technologies

Yes msconfig CAN put your system into diagnostic, but the keyword there is can.

The POST code even when it's just about to start reading the disc stays at FF

Vista will cope better with XP being installed first with its boot menu.
Can I put XP and Vista onto two different drives?
