Boot from the CD. :XD:

Set Vista up again, making sure you do a full wipe of the partition you just made. After that's all fine and dandy, you can focus on fixing your boot sequence.

What error messages do you receive when you try to boot from your system partition?

Back up all your stuff. Then wipe both partitions clean and reinstall. Or just wipe the other one clean and reinstall on that one.

You're trying to dual-boot XP and Vista, yes?

im trying to dual boot vista and vista

That doesn't make any sense at all to me. (It already doesn't make sense to dual-boot TWO Windows OS's... but yikes.)

May I ask why you're doing this?

That still doesn't make any sense...

Why not just optimize one? Then make two profiles?
