I need to recover vista from dual boot conflict
I have been at this for days,i have searched for a possible solution,but nothing. Here is exactly what i did:I installed xp,then vista,then i decided i don't want xp anymore so i deleted the entry with easy bcd.Everything was fine until i decided to format the partiton.When i restarted vista would not boot and i got a short message error about some disk error. I then installed xp.From xp i reinstalled the vista bootloader with easy bcd,but to no avail.I even deleted the entry from boot.ini of win xp so that vista would boot but i got an error about bcd.something being corrupt or missing.I then reinstalled xp and made an entry from boot.ini for vista.Xp loads fine but when i try to enter vista it gives me the message hal.dll missing or corrupted. Any suggestions?I would hate to format the vista disk now,but a last resort nonetheless. Forgot to mention the dvd repair method is not an option as i don't have the dvd with me.

Hi Romascu, Welcome to NeSmart Technologies. This should be what you're looking for: Recovering the Vista Bootloader from the DVD - NeoSmart Technologies Wiki There's a link to the recovery DVD there as well.

I tried only the last solution from that page,because i don't have the vista dvd with me.After reseting the bcd data,i added an entry for vista but at system startup it does not show up. Thanks for the quick answer tough. I will now try the recovery disc method. In what format should i write the disc?UDF? Last edited by Romascu; November 13th, 2007 at 09:34 AM.

No, don't burn the ISO file as a data cd, but open the ISO program in you burning application and let it do the rest.
