Ok, I have tried the bootsect, the bcdedit, and all the other command prompt
stuff for and from every drive I can think of and I get an access denied when
I try them or I get nothing at all. It looks a little like this:
E:\boot\bootsect -nt60 ALL
Target volumes will be updated with BOOTMGR compatible bootcode
C: <\\?\Volume{*insert GUID here for my XP*}>
Updated NTFS filesystem bootcode. The update may be unreliable since volume
could bot be locked during the update:
Access is denied.
I get the same on D: which is where my Vista is. Then it says
\Device\HarddiskVolume 2
Could not open the volume root directory:
The parameter is incorrect.
Bootcode was successfully updated on at least one volume.
Ok, now when I try to do the startup repair with the dvd I click on system
recovery options, it says there is a startup problem with vista and I get the
option to repair and restart. I click on that and then the box that says to
click on an OS and then goto next screen. Well, there is no OS on list and it
says something about loading a driver if its not on the list...I have no idea
what file I am supposed to use... I really would not like to have to
reinstall Vista everything time I have to reinstall XP when it screws up. Any
help would be welcome
