XP MCE and Vista Multiboot Problem (RC1)

[Guest]

The computer I have is running Windows XP MCE on a SATA hard drive (Came
pre-installed).

When Beta 2 came out, I had an old 80gb IDE drive that I put in and
installed to with no problems (Multiboot worked fine with Older Windows and
Microsoft Windows)

I decided that, instead of upgrading Beta 2, that I would clear the IDE
drive and install RC1 fresh. Now, there is no multiboot option, and Startup
and Recovery *ONLY* shows a Vista install.

Is there anyway, via Vista itself or the RC1 DVD's Install app, to "force"
detection of XP? (The Installer will only fix Vista installs)

The Vista DVD does see the SATA harddrive with no problems.

Thanks!

Take a search for Vistabootpro or Easybcd with google (doesn;t have the
links at hand at the moment) they allow you to add a existing system back
into the bootloader.
