re: Removing XP after Vista install on 2nd drive

To answer my own question;

When I first ran the RebuildBcd tool with both drives attached, it showed 0 Installations 
of windows loaded.
I tried some other commands at that point out of sheer desperation, as usual.
ScanOs showed 0 installations loaded.
FixBoot showed it completed successfully, but what it did I don't know.
FixMbr also completed successfully.

Now RebuildBcd showed 1 operating system on D:\Windows.  I told it to rebuild that 
one and it completed successfully.

Trouble is it rebuilt it on the same old Sata drive and I am STILL at square one! 
 I still have a bootlog on the old drive, showing XP on C: and Vista on D:

How do it tell Vista to build a bootlog onto the new SATA drive so that it shows 
Vista on C: and the old IATA drive as D:?  Or did Microsoft think of this possibility 
when they created Vista?

Thanks!
