Dual-boot dilemma.

Ok, I'll briefly explain my situation.

I successfully dual-booted my machine, however, I set my Windows XP partition too small (4GB) so I resized it with partition magic. Unfortunately when I did this, it messed with my Windows XP install and I had to repair my XP installation. After I do that though, it won't allow me to dual-boot into Vista anymore. When I repair my Vista install, it gives off the appearance of being able to dual-boot by listing both "Windows Vista" and "Previous Version of Windows" (something like that) but when I click "Previous Version" it gives me an error telling me to repair my XP install. I did so and now I can't dual-boot into Vista and I'm reluctant to repair my Vista install.

I use XP for all of my audio programs and I use a 64-bit version of Vista for gaming and if I want to jam out to iTunes or something. Any help with this issue?

XP has to be added to the boot menu in Vista for this to work again. This can be done through the command line as per the following link:

or there are programs that turn the process into a wonderful GUI process, Check out EasyBCD or VistaBootPro
