    I'm trying to get back to Vista Home Premium after I deleted C partition to install XP SP3 leaving the Recovery partition intact. Seems the trick of making the D drive marking it as Active does the trick, but actually not, a GLDR boot screen is shown at bootup but then it starts booting back again to C, no recovery process is being made.

    Any suggestions, the recovery partition is intact and I even can use F11 at startup but it does not recover the Vista OS.
