Ok, I have tried the bootsect, the bcdedit, and all the other command prompt stuff for and from every drive I can think of and I get an access denied when I try them or I get nothing at all. It looks a little like this: E:\boot\bootsect -nt60 ALL Target volumes will be updated with BOOTMGR compatible bootcode
C: <\\?\Volume{*insert GUID here for my XP*}> Updated NTFS filesystem bootcode. The update may be unreliable since volume could bot be locked during the update: Access is denied.
I get the same on D: which is where my Vista is. Then it says \Device\HarddiskVolume 2 Could not open the volume root directory: The parameter is incorrect.
Bootcode was successfully updated on at least one volume.
Ok, now when I try to do the startup repair with the dvd I click on system recovery options, it says there is a startup problem with vista and I get the option to repair and restart. I click on that and then the box that says to click on an OS and then goto next screen. Well, there is no OS on list and it says something about loading a driver if its not on the list...I have no idea what file I am supposed to use... I really would not like to have to reinstall Vista everything time I have to reinstall XP when it screws up. Any help would be welcome
Ok, tried other boot suggestions, still need help.
I also forgot to say I have also tried the vistaboot pro app with no success either. It wont even load. I get the cannot access BCD registry thing and I am administrator and stuff. Is there an edit option for posts here?

Alonea--
At that point in Startup Repair when you click load driver--it will give you a list of devices that are potential problems. If you don't see the list, try System Restore or if you had a backup image, you could try that option listed there in Recovery Options (Win RE).
You also should be able to restart and try the traditional F8 options which would include each of the safe modes for system restore and the much longer shot, Last Known Good.
Good Luck,
CH

All the edit options must be used before you hit Send. I didn't see the original problem so I thought it was a no boot. Startup Repair does a scan for bad files, and includes drivers but it's not perfect. Two 3rd party apps for dealing with the boot sectors, ect. are VistaBootPro 2.0 and Easy BCD. I can't find the full statement of your original problem. I do see below what you've used.
Take a look at
Easy BCD http://neosmart.net/blog/archives/185
and
Vista Boot Pro http://www.pro-networks.org/vistabootpro/intro.php

Well, what happened is my XP got to the point where it would be easier to just reformat it than try to fix it, so I cleared my C and reinstalled XP. Vista is on D. Well, I didn't know it would mess up the boot. I am trying to get my multiboot back with no success. I do have an update on my issue though. I tried doing the BCDEDIT thing using the command prompt that was under the System Restore options under the Vista Boot. Everything worked except for the displayorder thing. When I got back into XP, the Vista Boot Pro would load, but I can't get XP on the list and I tried using their reinstall for the boot and still no go on getting my boot fixed. I will try that other app you listed.

The resolution is to copy bcdedit.exe from Vista %systemroot%\Windows\System32 folder to VistaBoot Pro. Then it will work. The versions are out of sync.

Maybe something in this KB will help you. Rule #1 (not preaching, and the public download notes and notes with any Vista build are always install the older OS first. See if anything here will help you:
Windows Vista no longer starts after you install an earlier version of the Windows operating system in a dual-boot configuration http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919529/en-us

I still don't get why when I got into recovery thing under vista boot it scans for problems, sees that the boot is messed and says it will repair and restart and does nothing but goto that repair screen asking which OS, which there is none on the list...To be clear, i am completely unable to get into Vista, period. I can get into XP for that is all thats what loads when I start my computer. "CH" wrote:

At that point in Startup Repair when you click load driver--it will give you a list of devices that are potential problems. If you don't see the list, try System Restore or if you had a backup image, you could try that option listed there in Recovery Options (Win RE).
You also should be able to restart and try the traditional F8 options which would include each of the safe modes for system restore and the much longer shot, Last Known Good.
Good Luck,

Bootcode was successfully updated on at least one volume.
Ok, now when I try to do the startup repair with the dvd I click on system recovery options, it says there is a startup problem with vista and I get the option to repair and restart. I click on that and then the box that says to click on an OS and then goto next screen. Well, there is no OS on list and it says something about loading a driver if its not on the list...I have no idea what file I am supposed to use... I really would not like to have to reinstall Vista everything time I have to reinstall XP when it screws up. Any help would be welcome
Ok, I tried that, now my Vista Boot is worse. I am getting an error almost every screen now saying "Index and count must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: Count". So no, that did not work...

Yeah, I ended up going through their little manual (the link) earlier today and also under bcdedit and I still can't get the deviceorder step to work. I get "An error has occurred setting the element data. The system cannot find the file specified. Which usually means you either typed it wrong or something else is screwy...which is just my luck. But in my frustration I did manage to make myself laugh hysterically... D:\Windows\System32>die a horrible death 'die' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file. I have no idea why that is horribly amusing to me...it just is.

I still don't get why when I got into recovery thing under vista boot it scans for problems, sees that the boot is messed and says it will repair and restart and does nothing but goto that repair screen asking which OS, which there is none on the list...To be clear, i am completely unable to get into Vista, period. I can get into XP for that is all thats what loads when I start my computer. "CH" wrote:

At that point in Startup Repair when you click load driver--it will give you a list of devices that are potential problems. If you don't see the list, try System Restore or if you had a backup image, you could try that option listed there in Recovery Options (Win RE).
You also should be able to restart and try the traditional F8 options which would include each of the safe modes for system restore and the much longer shot, Last Known Good.
Good Luck,
