Dual Boot(Vista/XP) Error: Unable to enter into XP..!

Hi,
I've XP installed previously on D: drive and 2000 pro on C: drive. I
formatted C: drive(2000 pro) & installed Vista on C: drive. After that I am
unable to boot/enter into XP which is giving error like: \ntldr corrupted.
I tried other VistaBoot Pro,Easy BCD tools to edit but couldn't able to
solve the prob.
I tried to repair vista boot manager after inserting DVD by going to repair
startup but again couldn't solve it. I checked online for help. But nothing
could solve it. I want XP & vista working without reinstalling them again.
Could anyone suggest a best solution will be appreciated?

Thanks.....!

Hi,

Click start, type CMD and right click the start menu entry. Choose 'run as
administrator'. From the prompt, run 'bcdedit /enum' and then copy/paste the
contents into a reply. Please also include the location of ntldr, ntdetect,
and boot.ini on your system.

or you can just copy the 3 files onto the system drive and modify the
boot.ini to point to the XP system.

It is perhaps easier to dual boot if Vista is installed first, but here is a
tutorial on how to do it if XP is installed first. Hopefully it will have
tips to help your current situation.

Hi,

You have no boot entry for the XP install. Read this on adding one:

The files need to be on the root of the XP volume.

Thank you very much. Now,I am able to enter into XP where I've added the boot
entry by using EasyBCD & then placed those missing ntldr,ntdetect.com.
But however,in XP I was not able to recover my user account which was failed
to login which it automicatically created some another default account & got
logged in.
Anyway thanx for ur replies & suggestions which are best appreciated.
