now i cant boot into my xp64 installation :(

It it's the standard message that it can't find the ntldr or whatever, you siply need to boot to vista and edit the boot.ini file on the XP partition to change the partion number to the right one.

I created myVista partition at the start of my boot drive and installed Vista. Before XP was the first partition but now it was the second partition and boot.ini was wrong. There should be plenty of messages on how to really fix this.

thanks, ive never really understood the boot.ini file. this is the line from it:

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINDOWS

and its located on disk 0 and the first (only) logical partition. theres only 3 partitions: the logical with xp inside it and a primary partition. i didnt change the location of xp so it should still work right? vista is on disk 1
