Hi, I have a corrup version of windows xp on my D: hard drive and a good Vista premium on my C: drive. My problem is that my vista boot sector is located in the D: drive and I can't boot vista without the D: drive being connected. Hopefully someone can help me on this.
This still needs clearing up...there are contradictions on the info posted.
We need to know how and what was installed in what order that created this dilemna...
If Vista was properly installed on C: the boot files aren't going to wind up on D: no matter how you fudged with it.
As you have probably learned by now Vista handles boot files a bit differently than you may be used to.
This is why the details may be important.
