Re: Windows repair

The bootrec.exe switches are a very underused and valuable tool for fixing
No Boot Vistas and MSFT should give them more publicity. They aren't very
widely discussed.

This KB is one of the few places, and if there were more pubolicity for this
tool, more people would fix their OS instead of formatting it.
