Hello Joel44,
Have you tried the Vista recovery disc, you can download it at the link below, i don't know if this will fix your problem as the repair option did not seem to do it, but it's got to be worth a go.
Good luck and post your results, thanks.

When you installed Vista did you have 2 HDD's installed?
If so, did you remove one of them?

Use the motherboard disc that came with the PC.
Insert the disc and choose the "auto install all" option.
Install the driver management option too.
Good luck.

Re: vista 64 new install boot manager missing

The only way I can get the asus rom to work is through the bios. I just run update bios. I do not see an install all option.
anyway after I update the bios from the rom i have the same problem.
