i have four partitions.c(windows vista),d,e,f(windows xp).I installed vista and then followed the way to install xp over vista via the method provided here at digit(technet forum).My problem is that when i boot into xp there is a white bar which fills to the end and then the computer just hangs up,vista boots just fine.I also tried vistabootpro 3.2 but no help.please help as soon as posible.The xp install is not corrupted.

Thanks @ zeeshan but i solved the problem just now.The partition number in the boot.ini was incorrect.The one thingh i learned from this is that one should not panic.It's not that easy to understand as easy the people make u understand on playing with boot settings.neways thanks again.
