the kid fubar'd the Vista MBR

Posted: 01-20-2009, 10:22 PM
HI,

I am just a tourist so if this is not the appropriate ng please point me
to the correct one(s).

my kid was trying to partition his Vista laptop with paragon's
"Partition Manager", ( he says PartitionMagic doesnt work with XP or
Vista), which fubar'd the MDR. What happens now is the Partition
Manager's boot screen comes up and counts down the 15 seconds it allows
for choosing which partition you want to boot from, (there is no other
OS on the disk at this time), and then reboots.

He has tried to use XP and Ubuntu to try to fix the problem with no good
result. The F12 recovery key doesnt work either. Is there any hope for
retrieving the orig Vista MBR?

"I" appreciate any help you may lend this request.
