    Ah well, I actually made the Vista partition active - some sort of warning came up about having to have operating systems on partitions marked as active, but I thought this would be OK. For all I know, that didn't do the boot manager any good either.

    The XP partition was listed as active but the Vista one wasn't. I didn't attempt to run format, not when I thought everything was OK because I had no intention of formatting things. I tried format a lot later when I was attempting to resize the partitions.

    From a learning perpective. Did you try and restore the windows directory, program files and user settings only? Leaving root alone?

    Did you partition the drives exactly as you had them before resotring the image? Using Fdisk..... if that still exists.

    Did you run the restore from within a windows install? Or from a bootable vendor software specific bootable recovery disk?
