dual boot windows 7 and windows vista
First I had XP 64-bit running on first partition. Then I installed Vista 64-bit to second partition of the same HDD. Vista boot manager created entries for both XP and Vista and everything worked smoothly for last year.
Now the time has come to format XP partition and install Windows 7 on that partition. The bad thing is that I already did that, so there is no going back. Windows 7 runs smoothly from that partition even now.
But I can’t access the Vista anymore. Windows 7 did not detect Vista on the other partition and did not make me a boot manager entry for it.
I can not format or reinstall Vista, have there important things.
Vista partition isn’t even marked as System.
How do I revert changes to Boot Manager, so I can log in to the Vista again? And dual boot with 7.

multiple boot system windows 7 – Can’t Get Windows 7 to Boot
I have Vista as my primary system. My set up is as follows:
2 Internal Hard Drives
Drive 1 = Partition C:\ and E:\
Vista Runs off E:\
XP Runs off C:\
Drive 2 = Partition G:\ and I:\
Installed Windows 7 to I:\
everything installed correctly and with the Windows 7 install disk in the CD Drive I am able to get to the windows 7 desktop. However, when I boot up and Do not get a choice for Windows 7 in the “boot loader” screen (the screen where it asks which OS you would like to boot up into). I downloaded VistaBootPro so that I could attempt modify the BCD Registry Settings. So I was able to make a new entry for Windows 7. The only problem is that the “System Bootloader” variable is not pointing to the correct location and it does not seem to be editable. I’ve attached a copy in the code section below. Interestingly, the c: drive has a very similar setting for the System Bootloader variable yet it boots up no problem (c:\ = XP). I’m tearing out my hair trying to get this working.
a) what am i doing wrong
b) what do i need to do to get this to boot

SEND TO FOLDER IN WINDOWS 7
To get to the SendTo folder, you’ll need to open up an Explorer window, and then paste in the following to the address bar.
Type “shell:sendto” (without the quotes) in the location bar of a Windows Explorer window.
You’ll see the default choices here.
Now you can pull any of the defaults out or you can add locations you want in the standard list with a simple drag-and-drop.

Windows 7 Workstations slow to shutdown
Windows 7 Workstations are very slow (8 min) to shutdown. The problem occurs after the PCs are made members of the WINDOWS 2003 domain. Same issue for PCs on the local LAN or Laptops being shutdown off the network (remote).
Log files show standard items on the PC for a shutdown in the first 60-90 seconds. Then, there is a long 5-7 minute gap where nothing is written to the log files on the PC.
Domain controller(s) still windows 2003. Problem occurs with clean Windows 7 PCs, prior to adding software.
To check if a particular program is slowing the machine when you switch on or shut down, e.g. an antivirus program, go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Performance Information and Tools > Advanced Tools (in the left pane). On this screen the problem is sometimes shown. If not, click View Performance Details in Event Log (Event Viewer). Events in the 100 series are boot events and I believe those in the 200 series are shut down events. These can be followed up by double-clicking them, then clicking Event Log Online at the bottom.
