    Acronis backup on Vista on the same computer. Image it from disk 1 C:\ to
    disk 2 (2nd Partition) Restored on disk 2 partition 1. Took off the first
    drive and connected the 2nd drive and booted and it said "missing boot
    manager" I didn't put a jumper on it because it performs at SATA2 (3
    gigs\s). I took my Vista disk and said fix the boot and that didn't work.
    Maybe the image isn't no good.

    Make sure partition 1 is marked active.

    In vista when I can't boot how can I tell if the C:\ is active or not?

    Reconnect the first disk and boot to Vista. Run Disk Management and
    check the status of the first partition on the second disk. If not
    active, set it active.
