From there just move the bootmgr across.

Have you tried rebuilding the BCD?

798477 2009-08-05 22:06:00 looking back through the Posts you have not entered the correct commands.

Try having a look at This MS article (support.microsoft.com) - method 2 & 3.

Since W7 is built from Vista it should work.

Tunenz, try this:

neosmart.net

If that does not work you will have to manually move bootmgr over..

798482 2009-08-06 11:30:00 Nope when ever I try to rebuild the bcd it just crash's out at boot and get me to put the disk in and repair it... looks like I am going to have to do a wipe and reinstall as it seams to be the easiest fix with out having lots of extra's hanging around after.
