Vista worked fine, XP would only boot the first time after that I got that missing nt... message.... Well I kept playing, I tried different bootloader installs in Vistabootpro, got XP back once, but then no Vista! After that got Vista back no XP - error again. Well in the end in the OS manager part I selected C drive for both OSs, it seems that somehow the bootloaders for both OSs ended up on C even though XPs on D and Vista's on C. So setting XP to C even though it's actually on D works as that's where the bootloader is?!!!?!>!>!! My approach was not scientific, but I got there - try it! It must be because the VistabootPro is VISTA boot pro so is preferred that drive for la la la la lal..... no real idea actually.... William?
Anyway, what I want to do is go to bed, but I had to let you know as the formus help me so much, so what little I can give back (and believe me it's little) I will!

sweet, that worked, now if only the drivers would install on my laptop, it keeps giving me a error that saying the bios aren't for the computer when i download the exact model and its from the manufacturer so i dont know whats going on, and without the drivers it makes xp pretty much useless
