I have previously asked a Q about my booting Vista issue, and now I have more
solid information on this issue. Hopefully I can get a resolution.
I noticed the BOOTMGR and BOOT folder on my slave drive and asked about
this. Well, yesterday this slave drive started failing, so I pulled it out,
installed a new 500gB drive and Vista stopped Booting, telling me either
BOOTMGR missing OR Boot Disk Failure. So I tried to do a repair with the
Vista DVD and after 2 hours of the "repair screen" attempting to repair, it
tells me that Vista cannot be repaired. In Disk Management, it shows me that
Drive C: is "Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Petition", yet this OS wont
boot from C or repair with only C: installed. (My slave drive now says
"System, active, primary partition") After I placed the failing drive back
in, Vista booted, and I had to format the 500gB drive in the secondary IDE
and then swap it out for the failing slave. I ran a repair and its now
booting, yet off my slave drive where BOOTMGR and the Boot folder is now
located. My BIOS is set to boot off C:..... HELP me get vista booting off of
C: again. Thx!
