You need a Windows XP installation CD to do this:
Insert your windows xp installation disk, and boot from it.
When it finishes loading files, press "R" to enter the recovery console.
Enter your administrator password and then type "fixmbr c:" and restart the computer.

That should do it ;)

Can you not formatt the drive?

No, since i took out the hdd with vista on it, the boot manager was on my xp drive. Formatting that would loose all my data, which is something i'd not like to do.
