Give this a try, originally posted by Jill Zoeller [MSFT]:
Head into Disk Management and set your Active Partition to your primary
Windows partition and not the EISA partition. You will then have to reboot
your PC, have your Windows Vista DVD available. Attempting to boot normally
will display the error that 'bootmgr' cannot be found. Boot to the Windows
Vista DVD and start the Recovery tool, the Recovery tool will find an error,
correct it and ask you to reboot. After rebooting you should be able to see
Windows Vista in the list of installed operating system in the Recovery
tool's OS list. Select Windows Vista and then click on the Repair Startup
item. The Recovery tool will then detect a problem with 'bootmgr' and will
reinstall it. Reboot the system and Windows Vista will start normally.
It is said that this error message could be a result of your OEM partition
being set as Active.
