Thank you for this information. They are sure making it hard to get the media that you are entitled to. Anything to save a buck I guess.

Regards,

I spent the day wrestling with an unbootable Vista laptop cuz I was dumb enough to install XP to an external hard drive, just to see what would happen. Of course, what would happen is that my machine became impossible to boot. A friend found this for me and the CD I installed it on is worth its weight in gold. I booted the Vista laptop with it and repaired the system in a flash.

The key phrase in the recovery log was:

“Boot sector code for system disk partition is corrupt. … Repair action: Boot sector repair. … Result: Completed successfully.”

LOVE IT!

Thank you very much for the link to download the ISO. My friend ordered a new HP and I am working on setting up a dual boot with Vista and XP which requires a recovery CD to fix the Vista boot loader back. This was a lifesaver!
