    Alright. Problem solved... Unfortunately EasyBCD didn't help, so i popped in the Vista disk and used the repair option. It recovered the needed files and I now have a nice Win7/Vista dual boot just the way I wanted. Thanks very much.
    Nice! We are very glad you got it sorted out! Thanks for letting us know.

    Happy surfing!

    Good work. The Startup Repair needed to be run from VIsta since it holds the System MBR, even though Win7 should have configured Dual Boot when it was correctly installed last. Disk Mgmt looked right.
