from my school. What I did to install it was create an extended partition on
my hard drive and create a new V: partition. When I booted to the Vista dvd
and installed it, things went fine until it tries to restart and boot up
Vista. Right after choosing Vista from the boot list I get a screen that

directly taken to XP. When I press F8 during boot-up, I do not see

bootloader so that I can still use it?
