    Does anyone know what I should do here? Basically:

    - I'm getting the "load needed DLLs for kernel" error message in Windows XP.
    - My Vista CD only will let me reinstall, not access the recovery console.
    - Rebuilding the boot config with the XP CD doesn't solve my problem
    - I can't boot into my working Vista HDD because it doesn't appear in the boot menu.

    How can I either a) fix the XP boot, or b) add Vista to my OS selections?

    Please help me out here.
