Missing Boot - Whoops! Help!
Ok, I had Vista RC1 isntalled on my secondary hard drive, with XP on my C
drive. Dual booting. I decided to go with RC1 as my main OS, so I swapped the drives, to make Vista on C and XP on D, and when I formatted the old C drive, i totally forgot like an idiot that the MBR was on that drive, so now i have a Missing boot device... any Vista tools out there that will let me put boot files on the Vista drive without having to reformat and reinstall?

You can try a boot from the DVD and select repair from the DVD. ko van Zeeland
