OS: vista 64


windows vista x64,windows XP x64 & windows XP 32

hi all,my first post here,so please take it easy on me!

hope someone can help!

heres the situation.ive got 2 hard drives.

1 has vista 64

1 has win XP & win XP 64

everything was rosy until i installed Win XP 64.

I realise that win vista does not use boot.ini and that it has a habit of overwriting ntldr etc. however now i have no boot choices(whereas before i had XP32 and vista) and i get a message upon boot telling me that a recent hardware change may be to blame and to insert the installation cd etc.
i have tried to restore the MBR and fixboot from the XP installation CD,but to no avail.......should i be repairing from the Vista DVD and then use EasyBCD to organise the boot...or am i way out,

any thought would be most welcome
