Boot from your Windows Vista DVD and select Repair your Computer -> Command Prompt, in the command prompt, execute the following commands by typing them and pressing enter for each line:

Code: 
c:
expand bootmgr temp
attrib bootmgr -s -r -h
del bootmgr
ren temp bootmgr
attrib bootmgr -a +s +r +h
 
hi done wot you said this it wot its for each line the syntax of the command is incorrect
microsoft {R} FILE EXPANSION UTILITY VERSION 6.0.6000.16386 COPYRIGHT {C} MICROSOFT CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

FILE NOT FOUND-BOOTMGR
COULD NOT FIND X:SOURCES BOOTMGR
THE SYSTEM CANNOT FIND THE FILE SPECIFIED.
INVALID SWITCH+R+H THANK YOU ANN123
 
Did you type in "c:" first?

"c:\" or "cd /d c:\"

Try this:

IF EXIST c:\bootmgr (echo bootmgr exists) ELSE echo bootmgr doesn't exist

Is it there?
 
You typed C;\ instead of C:\
Was that just a typo in your reply, or is that what you tried as a command ?
(colon uppercase, not semi-colon lowercase)
 
hello tryed above again to make sure i put c:
C:\>EXPAND BOOTMGR TEMP
MICROSOFT <R> FILE EXPANSION UTILITY VERSION 6.6000. 16386
COPYRIGHT <C> MICROSOFT CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
COPYING BOOTMGR TO TEMP
BOOTMGR: 383562 BYTES COPIED.
C:\>DEL BOOTMGR
C:\REN TEMP BOOTMGR
C:ATTRIB BOOTMGR -A +S +R +H

THANKS ANN123

Addendum:

THAT WAS ME SORRY

OK, maybe startup repair well work if you give it a reason to replace the bad files:

cd /d c:\
ren bootmgr bootmgr.old
ren boot\bcd bcd.old
exit
Click to expand...

Now try startup repair.

Did you try the above instructions? I'm confused cause it appears grldr or another bootloader other than Vistas is in charge on your machine.
