Well, they all look very interesting and I had high hopes for /fixboot, but
even after all that, the boot MANAGER is still on D (the XP partition) -
even when that partition has been deleted. And the last time I booted into
the Vista CD, it couldn't find Vista at all. If I put XP back in, it boots
just fine.

I know of no other way than to completely re-install Vista withoug XP
present on the system - what a pain. Should have done that initially and
used a 3rd party booter.
