Dual-Boot Issue; XP Pro ---> Vista

hi tarheels,

Sorry for the delay, I had a exam in shcool, yeap!!!

the vista installation partition is E: in windows xp, from your screenshot,
I noticed that the partition is D:, therefore i would like to let you know
that the partition will be changed after booting into windows xp. for now,
since you're unable to launch vista, i suggest you could use bcdedit commands
that i told you before to have a test, if it doesn't work, then use vista
boot pro.

if you have any question, you could send e-mail to me, (e-mail address removed)
 
From what I understand, you want me to do the following:

Bcd log indicated that your vista partition is V:, to launch vista, you
could try these command in WinRE mode, type following command.
bcdedit /set {default} device partition=V:
bcdedit /set {default} path \Windows\system32\winload.exe

The thing is, when I installed Vista last time I let the Vista installer
format the partition so it's no long installed to the V: partition. The
screenshot I posted shows partition D: but vista boot pro shows partition E:
as the Vista partition. At the bottom of the screenshot it shows the
response/error I got when trying to change the device partition. Any
suggestions on which drive partition I should try to change it to?
