In my case I installed to 'C:' but it ended up on my auxiliary 'D:' drive. This caused Vista to see it as a system drive (according to Disk Manager). I tried the repair startup procedure outlined in many of the fixes but it didn't work. Here is what did... I went into Disk Manager and set the C: drive as 'Active' (it wasn't already set that way). Went to D: drive and found bootmgr. Could not delete it due to permissions but I could rename it so I renamed it bootmgrbak.bak I shut down the PC and unplugged power to all auxiliary drives, removed flash cards (including SpeedBoost) and restarted with Vista install DVD and went through 'repair startup' procedure. This time it quickly reported that it found a problem and asked me if I wanted it repaired. YES! When it rebooted I removed the DVD from the drive and viola! Booted normally. I shut it back down, plugged everything back in and everything is back to normal.
