The following tutorial will teach you "How to fixmbr using Windows Vista bootable disk".

• Boot up your computer using Microsoft Windows Vista Bootable disk. (Check your BIOS setup)
• When you see the 1st Windows Vista installation screen appear, please configure your 'language' preferences.
• When prompted, click 'Repair your computer'.
• Startup Repair will automatically detect a problem. When prompted, click 'Repair and restart', and then restart your computer from the Windows Vista bootable disk. If Startup Repair does not automatically detect a problem, continue to the next step.
• click 'Repair Your Computer'.
• Click Command Prompt from the System Recovery Options.
• BootRec.exe provides the following command-line options:

• /FixMbr. Re-writes the master boot record (MBR) of the system partition to start Windows Vista. This won’t overwrite the existing partition table.

• /FixBoot. Writes a boot sector onto the system partition to start Windows Vista.

• /ScanOs. Scans all disks for Windows Vista installations and displays them to you. Oddly, this didn’t work for me, even on a test system that was starting just fine.

• /RebuildBcd. Scans all disks for Windows Vista installations and prompts you to pick the ones you want to add to the BCD.

• Type  'BootRec.exe /fixmbr' and press Enter.
• Congratulations! You're done.
