The problem I had, and it seems most people run into, is that bootmgr ends up on the wrong drive after a fresh install. In my case I installed to ‘C:’ but it ended up on my auxiliary ‘D:’ drive.

This caused Vista to see it as a system drive (according to Disk Manager).

I tried the repair startup procedure outlined in many of the fixes but it didn’t work. Here is what did…

I went into Disk Manager and set the C: drive as ‘Active’ (it wasn’t already set that way).

Went to D: drive and found bootmgr. Could not delete it due to permissions but I could rename it so I renamed it bootmgrbak.bak

I shut down the PC and unplugged power to all auxiliary drives, removed flash cards (including SpeedBoost) and restarted with Vista install DVD and went through ‘repair startup’ procedure.

This time it quickly reported that it found a problem and asked me if I wanted it repaired. YES!

When it rebooted I removed the DVD from the drive and viola! Booted normally.

I shut it back down, plugged everything back in and everything is back to normal.

this fix is crap try a drive format from XP disc Boot from cd And go to recovery (press R)
Type map to see your drives pick ur windows drive and type format C: if c:is ur windows or q: if that is windows for you.

Hi, please i have a problem of an installation path. It loads to an extent that asks to specify installation path. An installation path doesn’t show or reflect, it comes in blank. I tried loading drivers and i am not getting the particaular path to the driver. Please help with a direction to recover my system. Thanks
