I have read losts of posts about Vista installed on a partition or XP on a Vista machine but I can't find any with my exact problem?

I have XP pro installed on my Seagate 80GB drive and have now installed Vista Premium on my 40gb Maxtor Drive. If I change boot order in bios then can start both XP and Vista ok.

I then used Vistabootpro on the Vista machine and now when I boot the Vista drive get a list of Vista or XP. Boots into Vista fine but when I try XP I get error message about unable to find boot.ini file?. I think it looking at the wrong drive for the boot.ini file? One funny thing is both Operating Systems think they are drive C and label the other drive D and vise versa?

At process of 'Expanding files..." , after about 23% , i receive this error:

"Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation. To install Windows, restart the installation"

i did restart the installation, but still get it...

I opened my boot.ini file and this notes are added:

;
;Warning: Boot.ini is used on Windows XP and earlier operating systems.
;Warning: Use BCDEDIT.exe to modify Windows Vista boot options.

anyone know how to pass this solution?
