RE: Boot.ini (w/Vista) was overwritten after repair of XP installation Tom is correct. VistaBootPro will solve your problem, It did mine.
Here is some more experience that may help...
I had installed Vista64 onto a single 320Gb disk with 4 logical drives -
C = XP Pro (Pri partition), D=(No OS, ext part), E=Vista64 ext part, and
F=(No OS, ext part)
When I found out that XP would not re-format the vista drive E, I moved
everything from drive F somewhere else, then I deleted both the E and F
logical drives, -- that procedure allowed XP Pro to reformat both E and F
when they were re-created in XP Disk Manager (all back to normal).
You can use the XP Pro Install CD to 'repair the boot process' - if needed
(I didn't yet).
Hope that Helps...
