legacy os missing boot menu

I have Windows MCE installed on C drive. I tried to launch the installer for Vista 64bit edition (beta 2 build 5384) from MCE but received a message saying it was not a valid 32 bit app so I booted from the DVD.
I installed Vista to the D drive. I did not see any indication that it saw the isntall of MCE at all.
After the installation was complete, I cannot get to the install of MCE, there is no boot menu displayed on startup. How do I get the new boot manager to give me the option to boot to the legacy OS?

It should have at least detected the existing install of Windows and leave it alone. Have you checked under Earlier Version of Windows entry on the boot manager? Select that uses the up arrow on your keyboard, press enter, and you should see XP MCE 2005 -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Same thing has happened to me. I installed Vista on a separate disk, to XP, but boot manager only sees Vista.

Their Forum is great for any problems with Vista...or anything else for that matter.
