Vista now needs install CD to boot after installing XP on slave--Any suggestions?

For work I need a XP install to run a VPN client. I tried to do this using Virtal PC in Vista--but the whole thing was just too slow.

So, I installed XP Professional on a slave hard drive. Afterwards, I followed some directions I found to create a dual boot menu here:

Everything works fine--but ONLY if I have the Vista install CD in my CD/DVD drive. Otherwise I get a "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" error.

Any suggestions on how I can resolve this? Thanks!
