On my initial dual boot install of vista that same exact thing happened to me, except
instead of "volume" i was only using "partition". WELL long story short I tried
everything. and finally after rebuilding the boot.ini from vista seemingly fixed
the problem with xp not booting. Until I logged off of xp and whammo the same darn
problem. You basically have to fix it every time!...I ended up getting a second
disk and using the bios boot menu. PROBLEM SOLVED, its ghetto but its better than
rebuilding the bootldr and boot.ini every time you want to use xp!...some people
around here are going to jump and say well i had no problem DUAL BOOTING THE BETA!!!
Well this aint the beta and setup is WORSE. I personally beleive they nerfed it
while trying out this new upgrade must already be installed scheeme. Cant prove
it though.
