've been dual booting Windows XP Media Center and Vista Business, but I recently decided to get rid of XP to free some space up on my hard drive. Since I could not delete the XP partition from within vista since it was an active partition, I decided to boot from my Vista CD and use the hard drive management tool that comes with windows installation. In retrospect there was probably a better way to do this. Unfortunately when I deleted the XP partition, the Vista partition stopped being bootable. My computer won't detect that I have any OS. By using the browse for drivers option from the Vista disc I can browse my Vista partition, and it seems unharmed, but it simply won't boot. When trying to use the repair function on the Vista disk, no operating system is detected, and the startup repair seems to have no effect. Please, any help is greatly appreciated!

It seems that running the following commands from the command prompt from the Vista start disc do not have any effect either. F:\boot>bootsect /nt60 E: F:\boot>bootsect /nt60 All

Can you use Vista Startup Repair option by booting off to Vista DVD ? Maybe you have to re-create the removed partition and re-format it before you refer to the Vista repair option. Regards SuatCINI
