To change the drive letters just listen to me. Right-click "computer" and click "manage". Then click "disk management" under storage. Then right click one of the drives and click "change drive letter and path".

So you installed XP after installing Vista?

Use Vista Boot Pro, and after re-building the boot menu, it will be there It only doesn't mess with it, if you install Vista after XP.
