dual boot xp drive1 vista drive3 vista black screen i

1. I have 3 drives installed in my computer :
Primary IDE Master - WinXP Primary IDE Slave - Files Secondary IDE Master - Vista
To get Vista to work i have to disconnect all cables and place Vista drive on the Primary IDE Master Cable, disconnecting the others.
i Would like to have it to Boot Vista with all drives connected as above.
I added the following line to my Windows XP Boot.ini multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Vista" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT /USENEWLOADER
Using this line i get a Black Screen and my hard drive light appears on.
Anyone any ideas ?
Thanks

My Boot.ini settings :
[boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Vista" /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT /USENEWLOADER

hi friend,
you have to boot from vista cd and choose Repair. the boot process of vista differs from xp boot process. for example vista can't use boot.ini
