Sys Command in Vista

[John Braham]

Does anyone know if there is the equivilent to the old Sys command in
Vista?

It's just, when I installed my machine with vista, I formatted the
primary drive and installed it there, little did I know that becuse
one of my secondary drives used to be a primary drive it had the boot
sector, after installing vista I decided to do some 'sping cleaning on
my drives, adn shunted a load of data off said secondary drive and
formatted it.

Now, if I leave the vista dvd in the drive the system will boot up
fine as it uses the boot manager on the DVD, if not i will get a
message saying that the bootmgr is missing, no surprise there, I tried
the repair installation systems on the dvd which you can get to
booting into the dvd, but these didn't work, in DOS or win9x I would
have just dropped to a command promt and done sys c:, how can i do
something like this in vista?

Thanks,
John

Vista provides a command line utility for solving your problem (BCDEDIT)
however consider a third party boot manager - either "EastBCD" or
"VistaBootPro" - Google for info.
