Re: how to restore vista MBR?

Don't know if this is what you look for:
In the 'boot' folder on the Vista DVD you find a program called
'bootsect.exe'.
With 'bootsect /nt60 c:' you can write a Vista compatible bootsector, with
'bootsect /nt52 c:' you can write an XP compatible one.
This will allow you to change between Vista's BOOTMGR and XP's NTLDR.
Best regards
