One has Vista HP (32 bit), the other Ubuntu 10.4 which is now corrupted due to a video card issue. Ubuntu can not boot, but that's not so important...The problem is that the "grub" took over MBR, and now I can't boot Vista sitting on the other HDD when I disable (or change HDD priority in BIOS)the other (non functional) HDD with Ubuntu on it, much less if I unplug that HDD (with Ubuntu on it). So funny, in order to normally boot Vista HDD, I have to "keep" my non functional Ubuntu HDD in my system. Is there any cure to it? How can I fix my MBR on Vista HDD so not being dependent on Ubuntu HDD, which I want to take out and use for different purpose? Please, help!!! Bambus011 I have two HDD on my system.

I have a Sony vaio computer, and I was running the OS windows vista home premium. I've borrowed a disk from someone & that's what I'm trying to repair it from but when I get to the bootrec command screen, I'm just stumped. I appreciate any help! Thanks!

I tried to install it in a Raid Server and all it did was corrupt something that will not allow me to access the drive now. I know there is still data on the drive but it will not let me access it. I was thinking maybe it just corrupted the boot sector and this will fix it. I am running vista on the computer.
