Hi,

See if this helps,

boot to system recovery options ( use the recovery cd from your manufacturer if it has those options ), this time , select Command Prompt.

At the prompt , ( it looks like this > ) Type the following ( assuming Vista is your C drive): press enter after each command

C:

CD Boot

Bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd

These instructions better explained here :

Hope it helps

Hi,

The link you posted is if bootmgr is on the wrong drive and you need to copy it to the correct drive.

The link you need is this one - similar to the Neosmart link, but follow all the steps here exactly

Error message when you start Windows Vista: "The Windows Boot Configuration Data file is missing required information"

Hope it helps

Hi,

The bootsect.exe was not included in the Recovery environment M$ provided to Neosmart to distribute.

So , if the automatic startup repair doesn't work ( it usually does), it is tricky, unless you have the proper M$ dvd and run the recovery environment off that.

Can you borrow a proper 32 bit install dvd from someone ( it doesn't matter if it says it is a different Edition - Premium, business, ultimate - the dvd's are all the same - you just need the same bit version , i.e. 32bit ).

You could take a look at this thread

Hope it helps

mm i can go try dl one, so if i get any 32 bit one burn to cd, i just use that recovery environment it it'll repair? is that wat ur tryin to say

 

[SIW2]

Hi Chikara,

The install dvd has the files on it that are needed for the more advanced repair attempts.

I can't guarantee it will work , but it is better to have the dvd.

Also, if the repair doesn't work, and you need to reinstall - you may need a dvd to do that as the restore function on your machine doesn't seem to be working.

Better to borrow one , if you can.
