I've never used VistaBootPro. But I'll attempt to help anyways. Have you read the following from the VistaBootPro website:
Alternative Method to Create a Dual Boot Menu
After installing Windows XP you will have temporarily have lost the ability to boot to Windows 7. Here's an alternative method to restore your dual boot.
1. From Windows XP, open My Computer and go to Tools>Folder Options>View. Check the check box for "Show hidden files and folders", and un-check "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)".
2. From My Computer, open the System partition. It should be drive C:\
3. Select and copy the Windows XP boot system files ntldr, boot.ini and NTDETECT.COM
4. Open the XP installation partition and paste those three files to the root of the partition.
5. Install and open VistaBootPRO and go to the Manage OS Entries page. Check Add New OS Entry, give your Windows XP entry a name such as Windows XP, select Windows Legacy from the drop down menu and allocate the drive letter as seen from My Computer. Click on Apply Updates
6. Now go to the System Bootloader page of VistaBootPRO and select to install the Windows Vista Bootloader>All Drives>Install Bootloader. If you cannot see the Install Bootloader button, close VistaBootPRO, change your screen resolution to 1024 X 768 or better and then proceed with these directions.
7. Reboot and test each of the boot menu items to make sure they are good.
