hmm, I wouldn't do a repair install inless I had to, you will have to re-update ur PC! Not sure if you have to repair the XP boot loader after VistaBootPRO removes the Vista Bootloader
Mac OS 10.6.7 - Personal
Ubuntu Server 11.04 - Server

btw, you can simplify the whole process by using VistaBootPRO to remove your Vista Boot Loader, but I have not yet tried this. Someone who has will have to comment.

You can use VistaBootPRO to delete the Vista boot loader but thats all it would do - delete the boot loader and you would still be left with all the vista files on your system.
Doing a repair install of Windows XP has the same effect as running fixboot from the recovery console and nothing more than that.

Thats what I thought.
Oh and you are quite right about the disadvantages of the repair install of Windows XP gries818, having to install the updates and activatiing it again
