A few months ago I made a partition for gOS, Yesterday I wanted to remove it, so I removed the partition where I had installed it and now when I start my computer it just says "GRUB Loading stage1.5. GRUB loading, please wait... Error 17."
I think the boot.ini file might have been on the gOS partition, but I'm not sure.
How would I go about getting onto Windows Vista again?
Thanks.

My computer didn't come with a disk :( Well I don't think it did. Vista was pre installed on there.

Can't edit :( There was a vista cd :P It just said Dell on though so I didn't notice it :P Thanks for your help.
I would rep you but i've gotta spread rep. :@
EDIT: It says windows couldn't find a problem :S
EDIT AGAIN: I think im just gonna install vista on a new partition then edit boot.ini from there.

Open the repair/recovery console from vista CD and type
bootrec.exe /fixmbr

You didn't need to install 2 vistas... You clcok repeair my computer and it detects theres a startup problem and fixes it in a second..

For some reason it said there was nothing preventing windows from starting on the fix windows option.
