My setup was wonderful with XP Pro and Vista Home Premium. After some
problems with XP I stupidly just reinstalled XP and wiped out Vista's boot.
XP is C: and Vista is M: If I reinstall Vista Home Premium it won't let me
upgrade my nice setup. Anyway to just restore/rebuild the boot file(s) or use
a third party program?
Thank you
 
Boot from the Vista DVD and it will have an option to repair
the startup (boot) files.

work in the situation you describe but
it may be worth a try:

you can install VisataBootPro on the XP side and repair the Vista boot.
