Dual Boot Problems After Rebuild of Vista Partition

Hi All.

My pc was originally built to Vista....However, due to some compatability
issues, I created a dual boot Vista/XP and this worked a treat....All was
okay....

However, after some issues with Vista I rebuilt this partition and put a
clean Vista install and all is fine with it.....However, I can no longer
access my XP partition, in windows explorer the partition is still there and
has a XP build there however, I cannot access it from the boot menu.

I originally used Neosmarts EasyBCD to modify the boot loader to be able to
dual boot and that worked perfectly until I rebuilt the Vista partition, I
have ran it again & it cannot see any valid bootable XP partition...

Is there anyway to repair this?
