[Solved] How do i move the boot mgr from one HDD to another?

hey, my boot manager is not installed on the same disk which windows vista is installed on, which is a problem if i decide to unplug my other hard drives and just work with the single hard drive I’m using at the moment with windows.
Can anyone help me out with this please.
I put in the dvd earlier to try repair, and it automatically found a problem and repaired on its own, but all it did was allow me to chose all my installed operating systems which are installed on my harddrives, in 1 single boot manager.
But i want to move my boot manager from where it is now, to the hard drive which I’m using now with windows.
Answer #1
you repaired the old drive or the new one ?
can you boot from the new one already ?
Answer #2
It seems to have repaired the old one.
I cannot boot from the new one.
In order to boot, my old drive must be plugged.
Answer #3
1. is the drive set to active ? it has to be to boot
should say “healthy (system) or (active)” in windows disk mgt
put “diskmgmt.msc” into a run or search box
2. disconnect the old drive and boot the vista DVD and select “repair my PC”
see if that will make the new drive bootable no!
then look for “vistabootpro” in appz section and try that
Answer #4
Drive is not active, iv tried vista boot pro, but it doesn’t work, i think it doesn’t work because it cant find any boot files on the primary disk.
when i run only the new disk with the dvd in the drive, i get an error message, and am not even able to start the dvd to repair.
when i try to make the main drive active i get this msg: “the maximum number of secrets that may be stored in a single system has been exceeded”.
… Am googling it now.
Answer #5
hirens BootCD has partition mgr’s on it
acrons partition mgr will do it
boot with it and set the drive active
then see if VBP or vista disk work
Answer #6
I booted with hirens bootcd and i managed to use the horrible thing, i set the new hard drive to active, and it says that it succeeded, but now windows still says its not active.
Answer #7
I guess a repair will always set bootmanager to the first partition or drive do a repar with only the new drive in maybe as said in 2
Answer #8
[Solved]
The problem was that when i only had the new drive in, the vista dvd would not even load, which means i could not do a repair.
That is because the new drive wasn’t active, apparently. And when trying to set the drive to active i got some error about there being to many secrets.
Anyway, i have solved the issue by logging onto the old vista located on the old hard drive and successfully seting the new hard drive as active,
which then let me load the dvd and do a repair..
I am now the proud me owner of a bootmgr on my new drive
Thanks for helping, .
