It seems that you have the BCDedit commands out of sequence a bit.. try it this way:
Be sure to type each line carefully (replace C in the first line with the drive containing
your Vista installation):
bcdedit –set {ntldr} device partition=C:
bcdedit –set {ntldr} path \ntldr
bcdedit –displayorder {ntldr} –addlast
bcdedit -set {ntldr} description "Microsoft Windows XP
"
Hope this helps....
