Well there are 2 things I need some help with

1: I had my system set up to duel boot xp and vista RC1. I have vista on a sepret hdd then my copy of xp (witch makes it hot swappable) Now I just don't want to deal with it so how do I fix the boot file to eather not list vista and go to xp or just make xp the default boot method?

I dual boot Vista and XP too, as far as I know you need to do this (I don't have Vista at hand at the moment so I'm not 100% sure):

Goto Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Startup and Recovery -> Change the "Default operating system" dropdown to "Earlier Version of Windows"

That should hopefully do the trick.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I doubt it but you can try those steps in XP if you want.

Apparently EasyBCD will allow you to modify the Vista boot sector from XP.

Word of warning though, be very careful about what you change, if you screw up the boot sector it can cause major headaches.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
