Boot problem

[Guest]

Here is my problem:
First, I bought a new hard drive and created two partitions on it. Then I
installed vista-x64 on the first partition and then vista-32bits on the other
one. Everything was working verywell for the dual boot. But some weeks later,
I decided to get rid of vista-x64, so I formated the partition of this
windows. Then, I couldn,t boot on vista-32bits! I think the booting
information was on the first partition, the one I formatted. After, to
temporarily solve the problem, I reinstalled vista-x64.
Now, here is what I want to know: How can I boot on vista-32bits?
I hope I don,t need to reinstall it!
Please help!

Hi Geom,

When you reformatted the primary partition, you wiped out the Boot
information. You did not have to reinstall the 64-bit version, but you had
to repair the 32-bit version of Vista, using the DVD you created.

If you are going to reinstall, install the 32-bit version on the first
partition. This way, while you need to reinstall all your programs, you have
access to the second partition, where your Documents are stored. And they
won't be deleted.

Your description is confusing. If you have Vista64 on one partition and
Vista32 on the other, but can't boot into Vista32, download and run
VistaBootPro http://www.vistabootpro.org/ and add the 32bit system to the
boot menu.
