vista xp os missing dvd not drive

Vista/XP 'OS missing' when DVD not in drive

Hi there, hope someone can help with this: I've installed Vista Beta 2 64-bit edition on a second hard drive. When I boot with the Vista DVD in the drive (not pressing any key to boot from the DVD) I get the Vista boot loader and can boot from my main hard drive into XP. However, if the Vista DVD isn't in the drive, I get an 'OS missing' error and can't proceed. Will repairing the boot sector with FIXBOOT work? Please help!
Thanks in advance, Andy UK
