Are you trying to recover data/files or re-install windows? You say you installed Parted Magic, are you saying to installed PM on the hard drive where Windows was installed? The more you write to a drive the less likely you are to recover files. If you are trying to recover anything from the drive, do nothing till you know exactly what you are going to do, especially installing and/or copying anything to the drive.

Provide a more detailed description of what happened and what you have done so far and this will help with further instructions.

As The Piney has asked, more information is required.

If windows Vista isnt bootable or fails to boot or something is corrupt you can use the following guide to repair the installation: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236 ... vista.html

Tho if something is corrupt, then you may need a new HDD or need to run a 'check disk' before repairing windows. Again this depends on the problem you are having.
