Hello,
i followed your 4 step tutorial and was doing great until i got to step 3.
i have a brand new HP Compaq laptop that came with windows vista home premium and no disk, only the preinstalled backup drive for vista.
-AMD Turion (64x2) Mobile Technology TL-50
-1.61 GHz
-NVidia Geforce Go 6150
-1 gig ram
-no floppy 2.5 drive
-DVD/CD burner
when i got to step 3, i have no disk to load the original boot loader.
windows xp (E:\) will load perfect. no problems but far as it is concerned i have no vista or (C:\) drive at all.
i dont know where to go from here.
i see all these messages about using some kind of bootfix software but when it comes to that i am lost, no idea what to use...if i should try or not...or where to go from here.
Any help u can give would be appreciated. thanks

ps...thought i would post that the only way i could find to fix my xp vista not loading problem as above was i installed vistabootpro
Windows Vista Support and News - PROnetworks Technology and did the bootload and added the information for windows to see both drives and it works great now....i can dual boot and using xp online once i find the driver for my hp. thanks for all the posts to help me find what i needed.
THANK YOU!!!
