Ok, I downloaded Visual Boot Pro (which I recommend, very easy and free) to fix the boot loader issue. After that when I rebooted I got the error message that the file was missing or corrupt, which I think people have referred to in earlier posts. The problem was that I referred to drive letter F: (where XP Pro) is installed, instead of to drive C: which is where ntldr is located.

Thanks!

Wow, I thought I was going to fly right through this, but I too ran into problems at step 4. I'm sure our friend William is sorry he ever put this up!

When I ran
bcdedit -set {ntldr} device partition = C:
I got the response
The device is not valid as specified.
Run "bcdedit /?" for command line assistance.

I installed XP Pro no problem on logical drive F:, and had no problems with the instructions to restore Vista as the default boot OS. So I'm in no trouble, but I'd love to be able to dual boot XP Pro.


If you have any suggestions, great, otherwise I'm no worse off than I was.

Thanks,

Joel
