Recovering Vista after XP reinstall?

Hello,
I had XP and Vista on two partitions, with first allocated for XP and second
for Vista. It also means that the Vista BCD ('Boot' folder) was on XP
partition.
I had to reinstall XP, which caused the first partition to be wiped. So I
can now boot only in XP.
Is there a way for me to recover the Vista back? I have tried booting into
Vista CD and trying things like 'bootrec /fixmbr, bootrec /fixboot, bootrec
/fixmbr', but to no avail.

Thanks.

You can use startup repair from the install DVD or alternately download and
install EasyBCD or VistaBootPro to recreate the Vista boot process.

If you did not "wipe out" Vista - the boot process can be rebuilt by using
VistaBootPro or EasyBCD as suggested by John.
