XP + Vista Dual Boot

Hi,
I have installed Windows XP on my IDE hard disk and it worked fine.
Then I bought a new SATA hard disk on which I installed Windows Vista (took IDE hard disk while I did).
Now, Windows Vista works fine but not my XP.
I have tried VistaBootPRO to modify the modify the Operating system registry entries.
It looks like this:
Quote:
Windows Boot Manager
--------------------
identifier {bootmgr}
device partition=C:
description Windows Boot Manager
locale en-US
inherit {globalsettings}
default {current}
resumeobject {2626a243-dd67-1243-99c6-89b122afb33d}
displayorder {current}
{00407f51-d803-11db-9934-0018f3b14f25}
toolsdisplayorder {memdiag}
timeout 5

Windows Boot Loader
-------------------
identifier {current}
device partition=C:
path \Windows\system32\winload.exe
description Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate
locale en-US
inherit {bootloadersettings}
osdevice partition=C:
systemroot \Windows
resumeobject {2626a243-dd67-1243-99c6-89b122afb33d}
nx OptIn
custom:47000005 301989892
3

Windows Legacy OS Loader
------------------------
identifier {00407f51-d803-11db-9934-0018f3b14f25}
device partition=D:
path \ntldr
description Windows XP Professional
custom:47000005 301989892
6

But whenever I select the Windows XP option at startup the PC just resarts.
btw I think 1 of the pins on my IDE hard disk may be broken but the hard disk has worked perfectly in Vista.
Thank You
T
