Vista 64-bit Won't Boot - Help!

Sorry for the late reply I always sleep in on Sundays ;).

You're most welcome for the help and I believe Richard can/already has fixed your problem with extending the partition.

I hope it all works fine again soon.

I'm sure things will be fine - but I hope Richard saw my last post as I need to know that by reinstalling & writing the MBR in EasyBCD, whilst in the Vista OS, that the MBR and/or Windows Boot Manager will effectively change over to the Vista partition :)

ps - an embarrasing England defeat :(

I cannot tell for sure. I would imagine yes, but I cannot be 100% certain. I have never tried this before, because I have always just broken and fixed it when in this situation. Have a Windows DVD to hand, just in case, re-write the MBR in EasyBCD, and then just take the bait.
