VistaBootPro : Vista booting not working after HD upgrade

Postby sersan » Fri Feb 08, 2008 5:31 pm

Hello,
first of all I would like to say that VBP is a very useful software. I have been using it for months.

Here is my problem :
I had a PATA drive with XP Professional SP2 on partition 1 (system) and Windows Vista Ultimate on partition 2.

On XP, partition 1 is C: and partition 2 is G:

I have installed VBP on Vista and used it from this OS to configure boot options.

Everything was working fine for months.

1 week ago I have decided to change my PATA drive for a SATA drive and have used XXXClone to transfer the content from PATA to

SATA. After that I have unplugged PATA and plugged SATA. XP is working well but when I try to boot Vista I receive a message about Winload.exe (missing or corrupt).

Just FYI, Bootmgr file and \Boot directory is on Partition 1 (XP).

I believe I should try to do a Bootloader reinstall but I am not shure about what options should be used.

My questions are :
1) There are other ways to fix this problem before trying a Bootloader reinstallation ?
2) If I have to do a Bootloader reinstall what options I shoud use in my case ?

Thanks in advance.
