Did you correct that? Here are the instructions for Vista to run FIXMBR and some other boot fix-up tools from Windows RE:<br /> <a href='http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392'>http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/missing-boot-partition#post-29410 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 04:07:49 +0000 geek860 29410@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I have figured out why my laptop was giving me the 'NTLDR Not Found' error - there's no boot partition anymore. I have a disk image copy on an older drive which I can use as a fresh source to copy data if need be, but I'd like to try and rescue my bigger drive. </p> <p>If you look at my screenshot you will see my old, working drive with the vista partition labelled boot, etc. Below that is the drive I'm trying to rescue. Note the lack of a boot partition. </p> <p>How can I restore boot properties to the partition? I have no idea how they got wiped. </p> <p>Thanks</p> <p><a href='http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?ec55476f02.jpg'><img src='http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/th.ec55476f02.jpg' /></a> </p>
