^^^^^^
I've seen similar questions answered with hints that ntldr is
in the wrong root directory and needs to be copied/moved to
another drive. But of course I can't recall the details.

If BCD really means C:\ntldr then it might mean the first
primary partition of the first BIOS hd -- or it might mean
the root directory of your Vista, or ...

I'd copy ntldr into every root directory you have on every
hd until it works. Mine is on the first primary partition
of the first BIOS hd, which contains *no* operating system
at all, and yet it works.
