So i formated with the vista disc and all, then when i tried to run the xp disc on startup it said bootmgr is missing, press ctrl alt del for restart..

You've overwritten the legacy boot loader by the looks of it. You should ensure you have a seperate parition created for Vista should you ever wish to dualboot. And you should always install the newer operating system last of all. More details please...

Now it says on attempt with xp cd, "DISK BOOT FAILURE. INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER." the vista disc still works.

Hmm...I wonder... myabe you took the advice of brainbox over there and deleted the partition! What a suprise. There is nothing to boot from... man alive.

I think i found the problem, i didnt burn the bootmgr files on the disc. -_-

Installed vista again, redownloading, then burning.

Hopefully it will work.

You should have stated you couldn't boot from the CD. I for one assumed you were having issues booting from the drive... which was obviously gonna happen Smile

Yeah, you need to make sure the image is bootable before you burn it. May I ask what you are using to do this?

After doing countless customization to my XP disc, and creating tons of coasters. The best way is to burn your XP into an Image file and then use virtual machine to test it out.

What I was doing is asking SwallowIt how he is making his dics bootable, so I could further help him. Not asking how to do it. I'm slightly more on with it then that, lol.
