Boot to XP Put in the DVD from Vista don't let it start. type in a cmd prompt (as administrator): X:\boot\bootsect /nt52 c: (X: = the drive letter from the DVD) You wil get an error warning the update maybe wrong because the drive is in use but it will restore the bootmanager from XP. ko van Zeeland
