Change location of Windows Boot Manager

I was just wondering if its possible to change the location of the windows
boot manager? I have two hard drives in my computer at the moment, and it
seems that the boot manager ended up on the disk that vista is _not_
installed on. No problem really if it weren't for the fact that I'm going to
move the hard drive that currently has the boot manager to another
computer... Using Windows Vista RC2 at the moment and loving it.

Re: Change location of Windows Boot Manager

From what has been posted previously you should be able to use the startup
repair on the DVD to fix your situation.
Seems that it can create a complete boot process to an existing system from
other posts, but you may have to copy over the boot files and have them
fixed. I would suggest you swap boot order in your BIOS and try it when you
have time and get it working before you remove the other drive.
