That's me again.
This time we will learn how to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment to troubleshoot and fix often startup issues in Windows Vista.
INTRODUCTION
You can use the Bootrec.exe utility in the Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot and fix the following items in Windows Vista:
-Master boot record (MBR)
-Boot sector
-Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store
Note: When you are troubleshooting startup issues by using the Windows RE, you should first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog window.
If the Startup Repair option does not fix the error, or if you must troubleshoot more steps by hand, use the Bootrec.exe utility.

1.Put the Windows Vista setup disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
2.Press a key when you are prompted.

4.Hit Repair your computer.
5.Hit the OS that you want to fix, and then hit Next.
