Dual Booting Problem

yeah i had vista and xp on my system on a drive partition into two....well my
xp got screwed up and i reinstalled it..ever since i did that it doesn't
start in dual booting menu anymore and i can't get it for the life of me
please help me


btw i do not have a vista cd but i do have an xp one..i had extracted it on
my old windows xp desktop and in which i deleteded

Thats because XP overwrote the MBR and killed the Vista boot manager in the
process. You will have to reinstall Vista again.
