    I screwed up, please help me fix it.

    Well, I made a huge mistake, and I am very tired at the moment, so I hope you can help me.

    I just removed my windows XP off of the dual boot, later did I realize that my windows xp was actually the boot partition. So I tried to boot up and I got a error, so I reinstalled windows xp. But now the dual boot is gone and I have no idea how to get vista back.



    Any help would be great. thanks.

    boot from your vista cd , when the screen comes up your see on the left hand side
    repair startup or something like that. click on it and it will fix the bootup for you.
