You find a Windows Vista Recovery disc and restore your installation.

Then with the procedure described here you restore grub, and then you can boot both OSs :)

Hope it’s helpful

yup its great……

but many have the prob with stage1 not being found

i.e $find /boot/grub/stage1
gives an error of not found or so..

in this case we need to mount the boot
here’s it is ..coz i faced the same prob

then type the following using a live cd of ubuntu or any..and in terminal

use sudo whereever needed
mkdir /mnt/orange/
mount /dev/XXX? /mnt/orange (XXX i.e.sda1..)
chroot /mnt/orange /bin/bash
grub-install /dev/XXX (XXX i.e . hd0)

Perhaps you want to try with the Ubuntu Live CD rather than the SuperGrub Disc? It worked for me 100% of the time.

I have tried Super Grub Disc, and i have tried your suggestion as mentioned above, still it didn’t work. My screen showed:
error with boot.ini

then in continued boot to xp.
