Not able to boot Vista after running boot-repair

[oldfred]

Post a link to a new BootInfo report, just to see what has changed.

You may do better in a Windows forum as we are not experts on all the Windows repair details, just basics.

in line number 970, why is it giving no-boot?

I have posted this problem on vista forum also. But they take too long to reply.

I think that is just saying you do not have a separate /boot partition.

If Vista did not work from when you had Windows 8 installed then it must have major internal issues. Boot repair only shows that the normal boot files and partition structure look ok.

As far as I know, while you CAN repair Vista boot using Win7 Repair CD (as folks reported being able to do that), you can NOT repair Vista using a Win8 Repair CD or USB.

What most likely WILL work, if what you really want is to restore the ability to boot into Vista, is running Startup Repair from a Vista Repair CD.

Since you don't have one of those, if you're willing to spend $20, you can go to the site below, pay the money, download an ISO image -- and burn that to a CD. You can then boot from that CD and run Startup Repair three times -- that's right, three times:
