so i got vista home basic but was having trouble. i have 2 drive, c and d
vista is on drive d, i noticed that when vista was running it said WINDOWS VISTA and OLDER WINDOWS on the boot screen where you select operating systems but the older windows was corrupt, so i reinstalled xp on c drive, and now i cant access my vista d drive 0.0 there has to be a way that i can boot on vista -.-
