Hope you can help with a little problem i have,

I had XP Home installed on my Hard disk (drive 0 master) i then installed Vista Home Premium with a Vista Upgrade cd on another Hard disk (drive 3 master)

when i booted it said 'do you want to load earlier versions or vista' to which i could select XP Home or Vista

It worked fine but after deciding not to use XP anymore i deleted the partition and formatted drive 0 (XP Home) **BIG MISTAKE**

Now when i boot it just says Disk Boot Error, insert boot disk **blah blah**

I have setting the boot sequence to go straight to disk 3 (Vista) but no joy

So im assuming i have deleted the boot manager of some sort, i know that XP uses the boot.ini but i read somewhere that Vista doesn't.

The question i am asking is "Can i reset the boot manager so it knows where my vista is installed without having to do a re-install?

* i have tried booting off Vista DVD and repair option, cant do system restore as i turned it off

Appreciate any help on this

Thanks
