The three files for XP have to be on both your system drive and XP drive.
The boot.ini file, what does it look like now that you reinstalled XP.
BTW you could have installed XP without unplugging the hard drive and just used VistaBootPro to restore you Vista Bootloader and it should have worked right away

I'm waiting on my friend to get back to look at the boot.ini. I am not the best with them. At first glance I would say that rdisk(0) needs to be rdisk(1) since it is on your disk 1.
