| | Re: move bootmgr from drive c to drive d Hi, Vista doesn't use ntldr. You get the error because the system is trying to boot the drive and cannot find the bootloader referred to by the mbr (perhaps D: at one time contained a prior NT system?) This is why you need to boot from the Vista DVD and run a startup repair. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Lars Schouw" <schouwla@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:b83cc124-aa63-42ea-ad40-5338839db2ae@xxxxxx Rick, When I try that I get an error: NTLDR is missing.
