Question Vista and XP Dual boot final question

hey guys,

so i would like to boot vista business and xp home sp2 and im a little stuck and i hope im near the end.

Ok so here is what i have done so far and i hope you can help.

i have an 80gb hdd which i partitioned into 2x20gb partitions and the rest i will be using for data so i have drives...

c:/
d:/
e:/

ok so i intially installed xp to d:/ as i know Vista loves the first parition i installed this on c:/

so i finish installing xp which is successful i then install vista which is successful.

ok so i reboot my laptop and it loads to vista fine. i then go in to 'my computer' and i see the 3 partitions.

Vista c:/
XP d:/
Data e:/

so i download http://www.vistabootpro.org/ and i arrange it so i can have a boot load screen. i installed the bootloader with no problem and all seem fine.

ok so when i load up my laptop again the bootload screen appears and lets me pick either vista or xp.

ok so when i choose vista it loads perfect.. not problems there. when i try and load xp it gives me an error message saying that windows could not load.

it then asks to install it again which i have done and still the same error message. could this be dur to an incorrect bootloader?

could someone please help as i have no idea.

Thanks

James
