100% Restore the Vista boot menu that was lost due to reload XP _ Other related

I believe that come to see this article are already on the Internet to search for some related "answer" but still helpless ... So comrades should be bootsect, BCDEdit, EASYBCD, vistabootpro the tools of the software have some understanding, so the following only for brief (can run under the Xp/vista):
1, Bootsect is the Vista installer (in the boot directory) to change the system boot mode tool;
2, BCDEdit is the Vista system with the Start menu editing program, because it is the command-line way, so generally do not use it to edit;
3, EASYBCD and Vistabootpro are the third party launch menu editing program, graphical interface, easy to operate. Vistabootpro's current disadvantage is that the Chinese display in the menu is not supported.

So, how to use the above software? How do you avoid improper recovery methods that cause any system to get in?

The most fraught saying on the Web is: "Bootsect/nt60 C:" You can restore the Vista boot menu--this method does not even apply to reload XP! Similarly, EASYBCD and vistabootpro can not solve this problem, because these software is actually using Bootsect to rebuild the MBR to try to restore the Vista boot menu.

How to prove it? The easiest way to do this is to run the BCDEdit in the XP command-line. The hint is wrong, right? Can't edit bcd! at all Some would say that you should copy the boot directory from the Vista installer to the C disk (because BCD is in this directory). Try it out. or prompted an error! But the hints are slightly different. When you run EASYBCD, it will repeatedly let you rebuild the MBR and you won't be able to get to the next step, while running Vistabootpro is empty in menu management and not added.

Well...... At this point you should probably guess the reason for this situation: because no BCD information is backed up, the BCD information in the boot directory that is forcibly copied is not for you, so BCDEdit, EasyBCD, Vistabootpro can't edit the boot menu properly. If you are simply rebuilding the MBR through Bootsect, then the disaster will come after the reboot--vista boot menu may be out, but what operating system can not go!

What to do? Some people say that from the Vista installation CD boot, choose "Repair Installation" can be restored, but if there is no Vista installation CD (from the hard disk installed) and how to do? Some people would say, copy a suitable BCD file from someone else, but where to find it? It is also said that the fake installation (again installed) Vista, and then installed to the first reboot after the cancellation may be able to rebuild the menu, but ... Good trouble, but not necessarily can do.

So, what exactly should do??? The answer is finally revealed--

Originally, Microsoft automatically backed up the BCD information for us, its filename is BCD00000000, location in \windows\system32\configfix\hkey_local_machine. Illustrious......

100% the perfect way to restore the Vista boot menu lost by reloading XP:
1, from the Vista installer copy the boot directory and bootmgr (this must be copied) to C disk;
2, copy the BCD00000000 to C disk in the boot directory, and renamed to BCD (the original deleted);
3, run EASYBCD, you can normally access the software interface, what to do.

Finish the work.

A final digression: the individual thinks it would be wise to simply format Vista's partition in this situation, giving up the flashy operating system.
