Unable to access primary drive after using BCDEdit

I have a computer with two drives each containing a different
operating system (C: Vista Home Premium and G: Vista Ultimate). After
modifying the boot order etc, I am now unable to boot (C: Vista Home
Premium) and it no longer appears on the boot menu.

Note: I haven't been able to get the recovery console to run.

Can someone please help me repair this with BCDEdit?

Here is the output of BCDEdit:

I have the same problem and i'm hoping someone can help answer this question in 2009.

I have SP2 set up on my machine runing Vista Home Premium x86 & x64. I modified the names, the defualt os (to x86) and the display order to x86/x64. Now i can't see x64 in the Boot menu. Here's a before and after of the bcdedit cmd. and do note the bcdedit was not done under the "defualt" OS.
