Recover Vista Boot Record
by dervish on Aug.10, 2008, under Windows
Did GRUB get a little carried away and overwrite the Vista boot loader? Here’s the fix:
- Boot to Vista installation CD
- Enter system recovery > command prompt
- Run: Bootrec.exe /FixMbr
- Run: Bootrec.exe /FixBoot
GRUB is now gone, and the system should boot normally to the Vista login screen.

Puppet Master: As a sentient life form, I hereby demand political asylum.
Aramaki: Is this a joke?
Nakamura: Ridiculous! It's programmed for self-preservation!
Puppet Master: It can also be argued that DNA is nothing more than a program designed to preserve itself. Life has become more complex in the overwhelming sea of information. And life, when organized into species, relies upon genes to be its memory system. So man is an individual only because of his intentional memory. But memory cannot be defined, but it defines mankind. The advent of computers and the subsequent accumulation of uncalculable data has given rise to a new system of memory and thought, parallell to your own. Humanity has underestimated the consequences of computerization.
Nakamura: Nonsense! This is no proof at all that you're a living, thinking life form.
Puppet Master: And can you offer me proof of your existence? How can you? When neither modern science nor philosophy can explain what life is.
