Today I decided I had had it with Vista and dusted off my XP installation CD and I had a minty fresh XP partition. When I installed Vista BootPro , I didn't realize I had to run the Diagnostic tool as well. When I restarted, Vista loaded, but now I can't load my precious Windows XP! When I used Vista BootPro again and added the XP boot option, I get an error saying that the \ntldr file is missing. What the hell happened here? Is there a way to manually boot from my second partition?

Instead of hating Vista maybe you should buy better hardware, or stop buying hardware from vendors that make REALLY BAD DRIVERS.
