A. This is a tricky one that I just had to do on my netbook (have XP and Windows 7 on it, couldn't get to Windows 7). What you need is a Vista CD for your version of Vista. If you don't have a Vista CD, download and burn one (all you really need is the recovery part, make sure you get the right bit version [if you have 32 bit, you need 32 bit Vista CD, 64 bit needs 64 bit CD]. There are also stripped down versions of the Vista CD called the Vista Recovery CD that is quicker to download and does the same thing.
Put in your CD and boot it. It will ask what language, just click Next and instead of Install Now, click Repair your computer. It will either say it needs to apply settings or it will present you with some options. Pick Startup Recovery if you get the list of options and then go through it. It should locate your hidden Vista partition and enable it. The problem is that it will overwrite XP with Vista. Once you get into Vista (and are locked out of XP) download EasyBCD and use it to add XP to your Vista bootloader and save. Upon restarting your PC you should get a menu that asks whether you want to boot into Vista or XP.

How to get Win XP product key from a CD?
Q. I used to have an original win xp cd, but i cant boot it anymore, so i bought a pirated OS to install it, but how can I read d product key from d original cd so i can used win xp legally?
A. The key is not stored on the CD. If your XP is a retail copy, look for the packaging which will have the product key on it. If you have an OEM PC, look on the tower for a sticker with the key on it.
