    Re: Vista reinstall problem

    It sounds like you have trashed the Vista boot loader. First reset the BIOS to default or to the previous settings. Please try this,
    • Put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    • Press a key when you are prompted.
    • Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
    • Click Repair your computer.
    • Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
    • In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
    • Type Bootrec /FixMbr, and then press ENTER
    • Type Bootrec /FixBoot, and then press ENTER.
    • Type Bootrec /ScanOs, and then press ENTER.
    • Type Bootrec /RebuildBcd, and then press ENTER.
    • Restart your computer.
