Hello and thanks for reading this...
- I had an Windows XP installed on a HD (Master - Drive Letter C: )
- I installed Windows Vista in a second disk (Slave - Drive Letter D: )
Everything worked just fine with Bootloader running both Windows Installations
- I decided that I needed the Master HD for another project so I removed it
OFC I realised that the Bootloader was into C: drive so my Vista couldn't boot!
- I booted with Vista DVD and tried ALL the manual repairing techniques found in this forum but still no joy.
For now I installed EasyBCD 1.72 into my Laptop which has WindowsXP and I connected my Windows Vista HD via USB-->IDE cable. Windows found just fine the drive so I have 2 questions...
1. Can I have my Windows Vista Disk fixed via XP with EasyBCD withouth affecting my Laptop's disk boot sequence?
2. If I can manage to fix this with EasyBCD, is there a way to declare to the Bootloader to continue finding my Vista HD as Drive letter D: for me to boot without problems (Since all programs are installed to D:\Program FIles).
The following message boxs appeared after I run EasyBCD from my Laptop. I said yes to the first but I don't wanna proceed to second one since I dunno if it will do anything in my Laptop's HD.

I know it's not a nice solution, but I would like to operate my PC for the time being untill I reformat all and do a clean Installation.
Thanks in advance...
