New Dell PC with XP & Vista - but where is it?
 

I've just set up a new computer in the office that is supposed have both XP Pro & Vista Business pre-installed - but I can't see an option anywhere to get into Vista - anyone know how?

And yes, I know I should contact Dell support... ;)

Sounds like the boot menu isn't being displayed. Need to show it by right clicking on my computer and selecting properties, advanced, settings button for 'startup and recovery' and put a tick in the tick box for time to display list of operating systems.

If it's a new Dell, then it should only be installed with one of the OS and the other is installed via the discs provided! ;)

what he said

I'll get my coat!

LOL - cheers, I thought tht was the cae but my boss is adamant Vista is already on there as the windows sticker on the case says Vista...

:lol1:

My netbook has an XP Home sticker on it, and it will have Windows 7 and OSX on there soon! ;)

Andy, how are you putting OSX on there? I'm intrested.

Lots of info, but here is what I've been reading recently:

Msi Wind Forums • View topic - MSIWindowsx86.iso to 10.5.6 No problems at all !!! UPDATED

This is older information with different source files, but useful none the less.

I have an Advent 4212 which I bought from PC World for £280, which is basically a clone of an MSI Wind (but cheaper). I have installed an additional 1GB of RAM in there as well. The touchpad has broken where it could not left click, but hopefully it should be back from repair in the next couple of days.

Windows 7 works fine (prior to the hardware failure) and from the above you can see that OSX works fine as well.
