Well I finally got around to unhiding my sys folders/files so I could see where all the good stuff is really going and lo and behold...
I have XP on 1st physical drive
I have VHP32 on 2nd physical drive
I installed from CD boots so that which ever OS is in charge it is on C drive (and others fend for themselves)
When using EasyBCD to backup (or restore) it says it is saving or to:
C;\boot\recovery.bcd
BUT
it really is saving to drive D: (see snapshot)
this has helped me stay confused about the whole boot/dual boot process, but between my forced recent education and this revalation, I now know more than I ever wanted to... hah
So I have backed up a copy of recovery.bcd (named something else) on the Vista drive (2nd physical) so that after I repair XP I can run EBCD and recover, althougjh I suppose I could use the recovery file on the XP drive, but just in case something terrible happens...
