Okay, I had Vista installed and running fine, but there were some things that I wanted to use that only work in XP. So my friend said he could set up dual boot. What he did was create a partition from within Vista, then booted from XP disc and installed XP on that partition. Then when he rebooteed we got this message that said "Error Loading Operating System." Then he deleted XP and the partition it was on, leaving just the Partition with Vista, but upon rebooting we still get the same message. Any ideas on how I can get Vista to boot again without reinstalling and loosing data.

How could I go about getting my files off of Vista before reloading, I do have an external hard drive.

Never mind, got it fixed myself, without reinstalling by the way. Thanks for all the "help."

Well I would copy all your files. and get ready to bite the bullet and reload. If you want a dual boot with XP you need to load XP first and then Vista. The newest should always be the last loaded.
Good Luck.

Best shot reboot in safe mode it will take it back to the last update, copy all of your files and then reload vista. Good luck
