I just got a laptop with Windows Vista on it. After installing Windows XP on a separate partition, I lost forward compatibility. I did find how to solve this problem in Microsoft's online documentation (and it can be found
here for people with the same problem, in case you're wondering
), so it's really not that big a deal. But I have one little problem with this: I've lost my accompanying Windows Vista installation DVD with bootsect.exe on it. Without bootsect.exe, I can't restore the Windows Vista MBR and return control to the Windows Boot Manager program.
So my question is, does anyone know where else I can find the bootsect.exe utility? Is it online somewhere? And if not, is there someone with the Vista installation DVD (that isn't, you know, lost somewhere in a messy apartment) who could give it to me? I don't want to pay a few hundred dollars for a new copy of an OS I already have just for the one file!
Thanks a million in advance.
