    You need a Vista installation disk to restore the MBR to boot your Windows partition.

    It's:
    bootrec /fixmbr

    I don't know why they changed the syntax of the command...

    using the vista setup disk select the command prompt option and then run BootRec /FixMBR followed by BootRec /FixBoot and that should rebuild the boot loader.
