Were you triple booting or did you corrupt the master boot record?

To repair the Vista master boot record boot from your Vista dvd and go to the advanced options and enter the following at the command prompt:

Bootrec.exe /FixMbr
Bootrec.exe /FixBoot
Bootrec.exe /ScanOs
Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd

If you are dual booting your grub syntax is incorrect append the following two entries to your menu.lst:

title Microsoft Windows Vista
root (hd0,1)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1


title Microsoft Windows XP Professional
root (hd0,2)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1



  • title Microsoft Windows Vista: Start a new boot entry, and set its name to the contents of the rest of the line
  • root (hd0,1) : hd0 specifies your first hard disk (hard disk numbering starts with zero) and 1 number specifies second partition (partition numbering starts with zero). This is where your Windows Vista/XP. Set the current root device to the device device, then attempt to mount it to get the partition size (for passing the partition descriptor in ES:ESI, used by some chain-loaded boot loaders), the BSD drive-type (for booting BSD kernels using their native boot format), and correctly determine the PC partition where a BSD sub-partition is located. The optional hdbias parameter is a number to tell a BSD kernel how many BIOS drive numbers are on controllers before the current one. For example, if there is an IDE disk and a SCSI disk, and your FreeBSD root partition is on the SCSI disk, then use a 1' for hdbias.
  • savedefault : With this configuration, GRUB will choose the entry booted previously as the default entry.
  • makeactive : Set the active partition on the root disk to GRUB's root device
  • chainloader +1 : Load file as a chain-loader. Like any other file loaded by the filesystem code, it can use the blocklist notation to grab the first sector (512kb) of the current partition with +1.

Re: reformat of computer

The master boot record is corrupt you have the grub boot loader installed in your hidden master boot record.

To repair the Vista master boot record boot from your Vista dvd and go to the advanced options and enter the following at the command prompt option:

Bootrec.exe /FixMbr
Bootrec.exe /FixBoot
Bootrec.exe /ScanOs
