Boot to a Vista DVD. If you don't have one you can download a vista recovery disk here:
http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/

You will need an ISO burning program to burn that recovery disk.

Once you've booted to the Vista disk click "repair your computer". Choose command prompt from the list of options. Type CD\ and press enter to get to the root of C. Then type bootrec.exe /fixboot and press enter. Then type  bootrec.exe /fixmbr and press enter.

Good luck.
