    I recently got a laptop for work that came with Vista. I need to have XP Pro on it for compatabillity issues.

    Any way...I partitioned C: into C: and D:. Installed XP on D:. From this point the system would boot straight into D:/XP. I tried using Vista Boot Pro to rebuild the boot loader, but now, even though I get the OS selection screen, I can't boot into XP. It tells me that ntloader is either missing or corrupt. When I boot into the XP setup disk to attempt to repair.....it doesn't show D: which is the partition XP is installed on, but I can see that partition inside of Vista! Anyone have any ideas how to repair the XP partition so I can boot into XP as well as Vista?
