If the previous method does not resolve the problem, you can rebuild the BCD store by using the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment. To do this, follow these steps:
– Get your Vista installation DVD and pop it into your drive.
– Then restart your computer.
– Press a key when you are prompted.
– Select a language, a time, a currency, and a keyboard or another input method, and then click Next
– Click Repair your computer
– Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next
– In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt
– Type bootrec /rebuildbcd and then press ENTER? If Bootrec runs successfully, it will present you with the installation path of a Windows directory. To add the entry to the BCD store, type Yes . A confirmation message appears that indicates the entry was added successfully.
? If Bootrec cannot locate any missing Windows installations, you must remove the BCD store, and then you must re-create it. To do this, type the following commands in the order shown below: (Remember to press ENTER after each command)
bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
bootrec /rebuildbcd
– Restart the computer.
