Can't get Vista recovery CD to recognize installation

[M.L.]

I'm trying to get a Powerspec B647 Vista64 Business PC to boot. After

booting to the Vista Recovery CD and choosing to repair, the process

can't find any installed O/S.



So I press the Load Drivers button to load the B647 RAID controller

drivers, which I downloaded from Powerspec to my flash drive. After

pointing it to the "sataraid" folder, the system installs some

controllers and drivers but still doesn't find my Vista installation

afterwards. Even worse, the C drive letter is given to one of the

removable media drives.



After pressing the Next button I'm given a list of Vista recovery

tasks and I choose the Repair option. When done, it hands me the error

message "Boot manager is missing or corrupt."



How can I get the recovery process to fix the boot manager and

recognize my C drive? Any help appreciated.

What exactly did you think you installed from the flashdrive. There lies your issue

most probably
