felix, have you done the Vista startup-repair thing before to get a dual boot with XP installed, in effect, second working? I though that he would have reinstall Vista again from DVD--which he might not want to do. But, what you are saying is a lot easier than what we used to say.
An alternative would be for him to "unplug" his vista drive and repair XP as you suggest; plug the Vista drive back in afterwards, and boot from the boot loader.
