Moving bootsector

I had Windows XP installed on my D: partition. Then I've installed Vista on
the C: partition. A while after that, I've deleted my XP installation. But
the bootsector of Vista is saved on the D: partition. Is there any way to
move the bootsector to the C: partition, where Vista is located?

You don't move the boot sector, just rebuild the boot section on the C:
partition. Easiest way is to use VistaBoot Pro.
