I had a WinXP install on a partition, and after installing Vista to another partition - the option to boot to XP is not there.

Can I add it back with something like Vist Boot Pro? I've added it as another option, and set it as Windows Legacy - but it can't boot. I don't think it can find the ntdlr folder/files.

Ideas?
 
Well I have XP on the middle partition, D: (seen as such in XP and Vista), and Vista is C:

I have to tell Vista Boot pro to use D:\ as otherwise it'll just boot from the Vista partition.


I think the boot record for the XP installation has been erased, but if I restore it using the XP disc, it'll wipte the Vista one, no?
 
I managed to sort it in the end, I needed to set the boot option in Vista Boot Pro to C:\, as that's where the bootloader is, despite it being installed on the D: partition
