Just installed my first Vista system (Ultimate, using it for my HTPC) and have a weird problem. The install process never copied over the boot files - the system will not boot unless the install DVD is in the drive. Otherwise it just hangs at the DMI screen after the BIOS post. I nuked it and did a second install and the same problem happened.
I don't know anything about Vista - is this a common problem? What's the fix? With an XP system I would normally just copy over ntldr and make sure the boot.ini file is correct but I don't see those anywhere on the Vista system. ---- Brian
