    the problem lies with xp. it overwrites the vista bootloader. get rid of xp and the partition. then follow this guide.

    Many many thanx for your reply.
    the reason for having 2 OS cause I have some software tat I need but is not compatible with Vista platform I will follow your advice and delete the partition with XP in it.
