Can't boot from XP32 after installing XP64

System spec:
Abit Av8
A64 3200+
1GB (2x512) OCZ dual
2 x maxtor 300GB (RAID 0)
1 x WD 120GB
XFX 6800GT
EMU 1820m

This problem began when I installed the Windows x64 beta on the empty WD120. My system was running fine with 3 partitions on the Raid 0 array.

1. 40GB - windows 32 installation
2. 40GB - spare
3. 480GB - data

After I installed x64 I can still see the RAID array drives but it won't boot from the original 32 bit installation.
I have tried changing the boot priorities in the BIOS and even disabling the WD120. Everything is still there, I just need to make the Raid boot partition a boot drive again.

Really sweating here. Could re-install but It's another day wasted!

Please help, has anyone seen this before?

Ideally I would like a dual boot for both OS's.

Thanks
Mike

    Is x32 in your boot.ini (Should be located on the root of your primary drive*its also hidden*)
