Vista Dual Boot problem

I''ve got a dual boot XP / Vista setup. Both on the same drive, 2 logical partitions.

I added a new drive to my system and also removed a couple of drives to use in another machine.

For some reason this caused the Vista drive letter to change from C: to E:
It now doesnt work properly. Still boots OK but cant logon etc.

Disks are shown as

C: XP and D: VISTA in XP
C: XP and E: VISTA in Vista

Any ideas how I can get it to be C: again ?

Thanks

This is what BCDEdit says:
Code:
