    Hello!
    I have Windows Vista for quite a while now. I saw an unpartitioned 5 GB partition, so I installed Linpus (www.linpus.com version). It doesn't allow me to choose which one I want to boot. I can't find the boot.ini file either. What do I need to do to be able to boot both of them ?

    P.S - If you know, does the www.linpus.com version have all the drivers ? And if not, where can I get them?
    Any help appreciated!
    Thanks,
    GvidoR

    installing a second OS after Vista has overwritten the boot loader with the Linpus one. This does not detect the prior installation, nor inserts a line for Vista in the bootloader screen.
    You have 2 ways around this: install the Vista bootloader from the Vista CD (repair option) or modify the Linpus bootloader to include the Vista installation.
