I had installed windows 8 previously.
Decided to play an old game that does not work on windows 8 and so I had to install windows xp.
(Created a separate partition for windows xp ofcourse)
When I installed windows xp, the option to choose which operating system to start first has not come up.

I run windows 8 repair and managed to get windows 8 running again. Now I can't seem to see an option to get windows xp to run?


What should have happened is that I should have installed xp first and then windows 8 on a new partition. That way it would be updated and I would get to choose an operating system with a colored background. Since I did it backwards due to nostalgia, I can't seem to see the option to choose which operating system I wish to start.

In the advanced system properties, under "Start-up and recovery" The only os I can see in the list is windows 8. (Default os list)
The time to display os is at 30 seconds



How do I fix this in order to see the windows 8 style, os choosing screen?
