The simple solution I found to this problem was to disconnect all drives
except the one that you want to boot from, which also has Vista
installed. Then I had to boot from the Vista CD twice and run repair to
get Vista to recognize that there was no boot sector and write a new
one. After booting a couple of times without the CD just to make sure
that everything was working, I reconnected the other drives. Now the
older drive is no longer identified as a boot drive in the Disk
Management. It is still marked as active so now I need to investigate
how to make it just Primary Partition without being active.
