I recently installed vista but I did a dual boot with XP. I
deleted vista due to dislike from its partition. Now the
bootloader for vista. Was still there so in recovery console I
did a fixboot and fixmbr. Now when I restart my computer,
XP won't boot. It just stays at the screen where it lets you
boot from a cd. Help me please!!!

If you have the Vista dvd I think it will fix your issue even though you don't have a vista install. Try booting to it and use the repair features.

Vista again?! Are you kidding me? Is there a tool I can
use on the setup DVD to fix this? I must install again?
Also do you know the problem?

Thank you for the tip. With the repair tool I was able to
back up important data. I will do a restore. Thanks again.

The Vista DVD is a windows PE 2. boot disk. Many people used to build barts or UBCD4Win disks to be able to repair windows. MS finally gave it to use. It is a very powerful tool if you know how to use it.

Now that you saved your data you can consider an XP repair using the xp disk.
