Re: Dual-Boot Missing?
When you formatted the drive you wiped out the boot configuration data store
that Vista needs to boot. The BCD store is written to the root of the boot
system drive of the first operating system installed on the machine. You
can try running VistaBoot Pro 3.1 from XP and choose the option to rewrite
the BCD store.
