Thanks. It was not at all obvious what to do with this. I backed it up
(BCD registry backup), and poked and prodded a few other settings but
nothing seemed to change the Vista partition. I told it to install system
bootloader in the system partition and then found something in the /boot
folder that had been modified. I have no idea how to tell whether boot in
mbr is loading Vista first, or still going through the stuff on XP, other
than by deleting the XP parrtition

nah, it's just changing stuff on the XP partition, nothing on the Vista
partition.

I am unable to move the boot manager - that's still on the XP partition.
It aoppears that the only way to fix that it to do a full Vista install.
VISTABOOTPRO only affects the boot LOADER, not the MANAGER.

said "Make D: active with disk manager, then shut down and remove C:. Boot
the
system with the Vista DVD and run a startup repair."
So I booted to Paragon, hid XP, set Vista to active, booted to VistaCD, did
repair:
first time it sait there were problems do I want it to fis it -0 yes -
reboot.
Second time I got into repair and did the top choice (no more "FIXBOOT").
details said it fixed the boot mgr.
Reboot - NTLDR is missing.
Repair really gives me no other usable choices, and there's no such thing
as a recovery install, especially since there is no such thing as a
slipstreamed CD for Vista, by design.
I rebooted to Paragon CD, unhid XP, unactivated Vista, Activated XP, reboot
fine into Vista.
So I need a correct way to move boot MANAGER, or be told I have to
re-install Vista.
