Re Win Vista screwed up my XP

[John Doe]

clarification:
Purchased new mobo+2sata drives
created Raid array (striping)
Designated 400GB for XP partition
and 200 GB for Vista

Installed Xp, everything was fine
Installed Vista on the other partition, everything is fine with Vista, but Xp I can't log-in into

When I open Win Explorer Win XP partition is there as a separate drive (D as it should be except I don't get choice screen

Actually choice screen kind of there, except it does not stop to let me do the selection.

I had to use Pause_Break key to stop it during booting, to see what it shows there.

A very confused post to say the least. Separate partition for Vista and
then installs over XP?

Did you download VistaBootPRO? This will see your two installations and
help configure your bootscreen, the timeout for the screen, showing stuff
like this:

There is currently 2 OS(s) installed on your system.
The current boot timeout is: 30

Default OS: Windows Vista

Entry 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Windows XP
BCD ID: {ntldr}
Boot Drive: D:
System Bootloader: \ntldr

Entry 2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Windows Vista
BCD ID: {current}
Boot Drive: C:
Windows Drive: C:
System Bootloader: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Windows Directory: \Windows


It's fairly easy to use.
