No boot manager
I have Vista Ultimate 64-bit installed on a 150gb partition and I installed XP Pro 64-bit on a 100gb partition(same hard drive). Problem is, no boot manager was installed (I believe it normally comes with NTLoader). How would I go about installing another boot manager and which one is recommended?

You dont need a 3rd party or another boot manager to dualboot Vista and XP. The general rule of thumb when installing multiple OS on a system is to install the older OS first and then the newer OS. In this case, if you'd installed Vista after XP, the Vista bootloader recognizes your installation of XP and allows you a boot choice. When you install XP over Vista, it actually erases the Vista bootloader and puts in the ntloader that is older.
