| How can one restore Vista boot on a dual boot setup? My setup was wonderful with XP Pro and Vista Home Premium. After some problems with XP I stupidly just reinstalled XP and wiped out Vista's boot. XP is C: and Vista is M: If I reinstall Vista Home Premium it won't let me upgrade my nice setup. Anyway to just restore/rebuild the boot file(s) or use a third party program? Thank you      |
