    a simple question..

    Well, it probably is!

    I had an XP/Vista dual-boot machine, but now I've re-installed a simpler XP install, and the XP loader has been put back on the disk. Can I put the vista loader back?

    Boot up off the Vista DVD, go into the Recovery Console, there you'll have access to commands like fixboot, fixmbr which should fix the problem.
