Re: Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration

Well since nobody responded I had to solve it myself. I don't know
which step fixed it, but here goes:

- Downloaded EasyBCD and ran it which copied the Vista MBR
- Deleted everything on startup partition except for ntldr, ntdetect &
boot.ini
- Ran diskcheck & defrag

After this procedure Vista was finally able to complete the upgrade.
