[20.] After the Computer boot up again you will only see Vista being load but this is alright! We will need to load up Vista to make the final changes so we can pick which OS to boot up too. So let Vista load up and will need to go back too the Command Prompt. Once Vista loaded go too the start menu and find the Command prompt and “Right” click and choose “Run as Administrator” this is very important that you choose Administrator because if you don’t the next steps will not work at all.

[21.] These last steps are very important so please type in the command right! Or this will not work at all. Once the Command Window opens up and you are under Administrator rights you will need to type in a couple of commands so please make sure you type this right. The first command we need to type is:

bcdedit /create {ntldr} /d "Microsoft Windows XP"

This will make the directory where XP is at, the next commands you should type is:

bcdedit –set {ntldr} device partition=C:

bcdedit –set {ntldr} path \ntldr

bcdedit –displayorder {ntldr} –addlast

bcdedit -set {ntldr} description "Microsoft Windows XP"

Please make sure that the first command is where Vista is loaded, mostly it is the “C” partition!

After you type in the commands and everything loaded in right, you should be able to type “bcdedit” at the command prompt and it should return something like this picture below.

If you are getting all of this? Then you are ready to boot into Windows XP or Windows Vista! All you have to do is close out the command prompt and reboot your computer! When you boot up your computer again you should see a prompt like the picture below.

That is all you have to do! Is picking which OS you wanted to boot into. I hope this helps you out like it help me out.
