Dual boot (XP Pro & Vista with XP installed first): missing XP

[cooljay]

Hello,

This is a little weird situation. My pc originally had two XP pro installed with one being corrupted. The corrupted one was there and I just didn't bother to delete it. So installed Vista the other day. Thought with XP installed first so I should automatically have two options, i.e. dual boot at start-up. However, I found out somehow Vista recognized the corrupted XP and at start-up I see Vista as the only OS there.

I guess I can use bcdedit but really don't know what to do because of this unusual case. Can you guys please help here?

Thanks!

Why would it be any different to use bcdedit?

Maybe I didn't explain this clearly. I wanted to use bcdedit, but not sure how. As I said, the bootable XP partition (Logic driver E) was not recognized. The one shown by bcdedit was the corrupt one on another partition (D).

Thanks!
