SIXAXIS Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hi guys,I recently installed Vista on my machine with a clean install of XP on another partition on the same drive. I wanted to restore the XP backup I made a while ago so I popped in the Norton Ghost CD and restored it to my XP partition. But now I don't have a boot manager. It goes straight to XP and I tried the automatic repair from the Vista Install CD. No help. Also, I ran "fixmbr" and "fixboot" from the Vista CD command line. Those commands don't even exist anymore.Can someone help me get my bootloader back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIXAXIS Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 So I ran the boot repair thing from the Vista CD and now it boots up in Vista. Still no boot loader though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Welcome to the Windows Forum.What Windows version did you install first - XP or Vista? (To determine what boot manager you have used.) If it was the XP boot manager, then you simply change the boot.ini on XP back to what it was. If it was the Vista boot manager, then you will have to look it up on the Microsoft site, as I don't know the Vista boot manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
