Vista Boot Manager!

Hey, got a little problem with my dual boot setup with Vista & XP MCE, basically I can only boot Vista, I've just checked msconfig and the boot options are missing?

Its as though the Boot.ini is missing anyway to fix this?

Nope just happened out of the blue, the Vista boot manager displays both Vista and an earlier version of windows which I select and all that happens is the computer just reboots.

As far as I’m aware the boot.ini file is hidden? So I can’t see how I could have deleted the file.

it isn't just the boot.ini file that boots a os.. vista as a bootmgr file not a boot.ini

maybe u have a virus?
