Adding XP to boot manager

[Guest]

I have Vista installed on a primary drive and Windows XP on a second disk.
Does anyone know how to amend the boot manager in Vista, possibly using
BCDEDIT, so that I can add XP to the choice of OS to load. I don't really
want to reinstall XP and/or Vista again so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks ...

The article tells me how to do it but I get an error every time I try to
create the {legacy} section.

bcdedit /create {legacy} /d "Windows XP"

I get "An error occured while attempting the specified create operation.
Access is denied".

I am logged in as the local Administrator account. Any help would be
appreciated.

Nope... doesn't help at all.

Can I just kill the Vista boot loader and use grub?
