trouble Working with Restore Disks


Hello, I wanted to thank-you for this excellent Tutorial!

However I seem to run into one hick-up

I have the Everex Restore Disk (Vista) and so when I get to the step to fix the MBR I cannot complete it, my disk does not have the normal Vista Options, instead it just restores the disk back to factory default.

I have tried using my friends copy of Vista instead, but it will not let me get to the command prompt as the two versions are different (he has 64x and Everex gave me 32x) so I cannot get to CMD. I have tried installing the 64x version, but Everex does not support it and thus I cannot get any drivers to install

I have also tried installing Vista after XP but when I install Vista it formats the partition that xp was on...

Is there any other way to get to the CMD without using the Vista Disk? I have also tried running CMD while in windows but it does not recognize the Bootrec.exe /fixMBR command

Thank-you for your time.
