Dual Boot with XP and Vista?

Question

I have installed Windows Vista on a seprate partition from Windows XP. The problem is more of an inconvience than that of an actual problem. When you install Vista, it installs it's boot manager ON TOP OF your old one. So what has happened now is that when I boot, Vista's boot manager lets me select a version of XP or Vista. If I chose XP, it brings me to my old boot manager selections, which I no longer need.

I've tried to edit boot.ini in the root directory, but it won't let me save changes, and there is a message before the actual boot info that says to use Vista's boot manager.

Is there any way to fix this problem without completly reformatting everything?
