Hi.

I've been yet again trying to get dual booting with Vista/XP, and for some reason when I installed Vista I no longer had access to XP anymore. Now XP is on my 320GB Western Digital SATA 2 HDD and Vista is on the 160GB Samsung IDE HDD, If I go into Windows XP CD and use the repair option and fixboot, then I get the error message on boot that says something along the lines of NTLDR is midding or corrupt. I re installed windows XP and then ghosted the installation so its back up to date, worked fine, but then I wanted to get my Vista installation back in the boot loader so I tried using the repair option on the Vista CD and that got Vista working again but then I no longer had access to Xp, I've tried the Vista Boot Pro and Easy BCD and had no sucess allthough now I have finally got both OS's showing on but when trying to boot into XP I get this error about ntoskrnl missing, I noticed it was showing the location to the file in the wrong place too, I searched for it in Vista on my XP drive and found it in D:\Windows.

I want to avoid re installing XP and Vista aswell.
Here is an image of as much info as I can provide:
