Hi
I have had Vista Home Premium 64 for about 18months with no problems on a WD sata hdd. The mobo is a MSI 7345 P-35 board with a E8200.
All was well until tonight when I added a IDE Maxtor 80g to install Win XP on. I like a video editing program that works well but not on Vista so I thought I'd dual boot on two different HDDs.
I was very careful to point XP toward the 80g where an old copy of Win7 RC was on.
Win XP is now the only OS on the 80g..no sign of WIn7...but I cannot boot from VISTA now..although I can access files on it from the Win XP drive.
What is the solution out of this ? I need Vista back.
Thanks for the assist.
*** FIXED **** after researching, I downloaded EasyBCD and repaired Vista's MBR. All is well after a re-boot.
