Okay. So apparently when you install Vista on a second partition with XP on the first, Vista puts all the boot info on the XP partition!

So--without me knowing--I reformatted the XP partition and lost all the boot information.

My computer was unbootable. So I decided to reinstall XP. I did. And it booted. But the Vista partition is unbootable (because there's no boot info on it).

How do I reinstall the Vista boot manager? (And I kinda wiped off my Vista DVD-RW...)

.. and seemingly resolved, too.

Maybe it's a test(?)

I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil. I simply suspect that if Microsoft ever met up with the devil, it wouldn't need an interpreter

Tests? Tell 'em to bring it on. I'm confident we can solve anything they'll bring.

I just bought some wine bottles a few hours ago. I'm going to be nice & toasty all the way through till the 3rd :)
