Lost multiboot

[ken07734]

I recently lost my Vista drive which controlled the multiboot for my Win 7 OS. The Win 7 is still there but cannot be seen by the Vista OS, how can I make the new Vista OS see and allow me to choose ther old Win 7?

boot up with the Vista or Win7 DVD, and then do a BOOT REPAIR!!!

or follow the following article, it talks about corrupted Boot loader and stuff but should work for you as well...
