I think you have found another bug in Vista... I've never had the boot menu disappear.


Take a look at your boot.ini file. If that looks ok, I'd around to see how to do a repair of the install, see if that will rebuild the mbr.

Haven't done dual boots for a few years... Most of the time the last installed OS will re-build the mbr, the pointers adding itself to the list of installed OS's...

You might try the Microsoft power toys "tweak" app to see if you can get it back... Edit which OS is in the list in the boot.ini file.

You can also try VistaBoot pro 2.1. That utility has a bunch of apps to help with the dual boot scenarios of Vista and XP. Here is the link.
