    Hi,
    I have T61 with dual boot (Vista + opensolaris) and I wanted to restore system.
    After booting into restore, I stopped proceeding. Now I cant boot into Vista.

    1. I have two partitions in Vista, does system restore erase both partitions?
    I have C and E, and I have data in E.
    If I can keep E intact I can restore.

    2. Anyway I can fix vista bootloader (winload.exe missing or corrupted)

    Please help.

    Regards.

    A restore wipes the entire drive.
