I'm not really with you,
copied boot.ini, ntldr, ntdetect from where, to where?

I think that those 3 files are on your vista HD (c:\)

You just have to copy them back to the XP HD (D:\)

Then repair vista boot with VistabootPRO.

Then run diagnostic.

Probably you will have to delete XP entry in VistabootPro and manually add it again under Legacy OS option.

I wasted whole weekend trying to get my notebook to dualboot and now i just can't belive how simple it is.

good luck.
