Use the msconfig tool and have it check the boot paths for you.

fixmbr is not the tool to use for this. You would only need to use the Recovery Console if the pc couldn't boot and the tool to use for this purpose would be Bootcfg /rebuild, but you don't need to do this, use msconfig instead.

I loaded test copy of Vista on a second drive. I have since removed it and formated the drive but the boot manager remains. Is using the recovery console and fixMBR the only way to get rid of it?
