I have had Vista 64-bit OS installed on an existing primary partition.
Due to curiosity I decided to check out Win8 and installed Win8 64-bit on a separate primary partition on a different hard-disk.
However since doing so I am unable to boot to Vista. Furthermore, all the usual system settings don't have the Vista OS available as a bootable option.
I'm very sure I didn't delete or overwrite the Vista partition, the above Disk Management picture shows this. The red boxes are the Win8, and the green boxes are the Vista. I am also still able to access the contents of the Vista partition via Explorer from within Win8.
What can I do to allow the computer to recognise Vista again as a default boot option?
Thanks for any help
