Alright. Do this.

VistaBootPRO -> Diagnostics -> Run Diagnostics

Then post the output of that again. Seems you have some rogue entries in your manager that we need to take care of as well.

Ahh I see the problem. Here is what you will need to do.

Go to:

VistaBootPRO -> Manage OS Entries -> Add New OS Entry

1. Type in "WindowsXP" without quotes and no spaces. (we can change it later)
2. Select C: drive
3. Select "Legacy OS Entry" for OS Type

Then click on Apply Updates. A new Legacy OS Entry will be created with the correct parameters.

Next, goto:

VistaBootPRO -> System Bootloader

Select:
1. Windows Vista Bootloader
2. All Drives
3. Force Installation

After this reboot and see if you can get into the newly created WindowsXP. If so, reboot and see if you can get into Vista. If so, delete the entry "Windows XP" with a space and you can rename "WindowsXP" without a space anything you'd like.

If you are weary about doing something let us know and we can guid you through it with more instructions.

I preformed your suggestion.

Vista is the only thing that will boot. When I sellect the new WindowsXP (no space) it just goes back to the boot manager selection.

Here is what you will need to do.

1. Open My Computer
2. Click on "Organize" and then click on "Folder and Search Options"
3. Then click on the "View" tab
4. In the list under "Advanced Settings" you need to find "Hide protected operating system files" and uncheck it and then click "Ok"

5. Once back into My Computer open your XP (or Vista) drive and you will now see more "protected" files
6. Select the three files in question and right click and then select "Copy"
7. Go back and open your Vista (or XP) drive and right click and then select paste


The three files are Boot.ini, NTLDR, NTDETECT

Also, you might try changing the boot drive in VistaBootPRO for the WindowsXP entry. I was guessing on C but it could be another drive. The "Windows XP" (with space) is actually an old Vista entry and needs to be deleted anyway. It is not actually XP because the bootloader path points to \winload.exe and XP uses \ntldr. That is why you had to create a new entry.

I did what you suggested with the "Folders and Search Options" but I didn't see any protected files. Where do I look to find the boot.ini, NTLDR and the NTDETECT files?

XP does not use winload.exe. The entry for XP needs to be deleted and re-enter a menu item for XP under Legacy OS

Well, I've tried every suggestion but nothing works so I guess I'll give up. Thanks to all for your help. I appreciate it very much.
