OP, your situation is hardly a reason to blame Vista, I would blame the user, and then I would quess it was a hardware reason for the no boot.
But then again, not being able to find an XP driver and only a vista driver.... please do tell what hardware this is for, as I wasnt aware there was any hardware that was vista only, besides DX10 video cards, and even then they have XP drivers, just cant use DX10.
I chaulk this up to user error.

I agree, usually they blaim the OS when its 3rd party software or hardware thats actually the issue.
