Need to createa new boot sector

[Rob]

A botched vista install has got me needing to rewrite my bootsector so I can
get rid of the vista options.

I have tried booting from my windows xp cd, and choosing repair install but
when I do so, it says it can't find any hard drives. Obviously that's not
the case. I have 3 sata hd's the primary drive c has windowx xp pro.

I can still boot into windows XP no problem but I have to manually select
because the boot manager has vista as the default.

Scan the posts in the Vista newsgroup. It's discussed in there extensively.
