W7 Boot loader issue

[veri745]

I had Vista installed on a partition on my HD, so the Vista default bootloader was working fine to select between my XP partition and Vista.

At some point, I stopped using Vista, so now that the Win7 RC is out, I decided to install it over my Vista partition.

The install went fine, but then when it needed to reboot, my bootloader popped up with two selections: Vista and XP. XP still works fine, but I can't select Vista to boot into Win7, so I'm not sure how I can update my bootloader. If I do, it gives me some error message about how files are missing and I need to repair Vista (because it's expecting Vista)

Anyone know how I can get around this?

you should beable to boot up off the win7 cd and just after selecting your language, take repair my computer on the bottom left and it should do an automatic startup repair, if not select the automatic repair after selecting the os

otherwise you could use bcdedit from the command prompt from the win7 rc disk

I don't know about W7 but it used to be that you could run 'fixboot' and 'bootcfg' from the recovery console of XP.

Thanks for the replies guys. I found a program called EasyBCD that was able to repair the Vista bootloader. I just had to remove the Vista entry and add a new Vista entry for Windows 7.
