Your Vista boot files are on the XP drive, so with the XP drive disconnected
OR the Vista drive set as first in boot priority in your BIOS, run the Vista
DVD and do a startup repair.

Try this

Dual-booting with vista can be a little tricky to remove because of the
new bootloader.

Playing with dual-boot systems has killed many people's hard drives. I
would suggest massive back-ups before you try to remove part of a dual-
boot system. If you mess up, you might be unable to boot to any of your
partitions. You do this at your own risk.

Here's the basic steps you need to do:


1. Backup, backup, backup
2. Reboot and Boot to your XP CD-ROM
3. Start the Recovery Console
4. Run Fixboot
5. Run fixmbr to reset the master boot record
6. Exit the Recovery Console
7. Reboot
8. To remove the extra entry, edit the boot.ini file to remove the
"Microsoft Windows Longhorn" entry.
9. Format Your Vista Partition
