Hi,
The roottkit tool may not know what to do with various Vista functions, so
before making assumptions check with the distributor.
Vista uses winload.exe to start the OS before passing control to
ntoskrnl.exe, and it (winload.exe) relies on reading a BCD file under
C:\boot. This initial startup sequence is very different than that used by
previous NT systems, so may be part of what is confusing the rootkit tool.
Nero has had problems reported on every build of Vista so far, I wouldn't
rely on anything regarding it thus far. Hopefully, the folks at Ahead will
get it worked out shortly as Vista goes RTM.

You should not get involved in beta products if you are not willing and able
to do this. It's par for the course.
