Windows repair Ron 11/25/2008 12:46:01 AM My computer won't boot. I'm attempting a Windows repair from the Vista Home Premium install disk, but at the repair which operating system screen, no system is listed. The instructions say to load drivers for my hard drives, but from where? I don't have driver disks for my hard drives. By the way, when I look for drivers, all my drives, including my two IDE drives, are listed along with all files. Can anyone shed any further light on this problem? Thanks for your help.

RE: Windows repair Ron 11/25/2008 4:56:01 AM Running bootrec /fixmbr seems to have fixed the issue. I guess the Master Boot Record somehow got corrupted? In any case, all seems to be well now.

Re: Windows repair "Chad Harris" <Windows7[ at ]Blackcombville.net> 11/27/2008 5:18:35 AM The bootrec.exe switches are a very underused and valuable tool for fixing No Boot Vistas and MSFT should give them more publicity. They aren't very widely discussed. This KB is one of the few places, and if there were more pubolicity for this tool, more people would fix their OS instead of formatting it. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392/en-us Good luck, CH "Ron" <Ron[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A174F59B-74C0-4778-9449-87687D050CC1[ at ]microsoft.com...
