What's the steps to restore the boot loader of 64-bit Vi$ta after
installing 32-bit XP? The kb/919529 doesn't quite work because 32-bit XP
cannot call the 64-bit bootsect.exe on the 64-bit Vi$ta DVD....

You might try a program called VistaBoot Pro 3.3

It allows you to do a lot of things with the boot loaders.

Hi,

You should be booting from your Vista x64 disk for this repair:
