How can one restore Vista boot on a dual boot setup?
My setup was wonderful with XP Pro and Vista Home Premium. After some
problems with XP I stupidly just reinstalled XP and wiped out Vista's boot.
XP is C: and Vista is M: If I reinstall Vista Home Premium it won't let me
upgrade my nice setup. Anyway to just restore/rebuild the boot file(s) or use
a third party program?
Thank you

Boot from the Vista DVD and it will have an option to repair
the startup (boot) files.
