move bootmgr from drive c to drive d

I would like to move the boot manager from drive c to drive d.
How can I do that using Bcdedit?

I would like to remove drive c from my PC but the boot information is
on that drive.. telling it to boot the vista installed my d drive.

My current setup looks like this :
D:\Windows\system32>Bcdedit

Windows Boot Manager
--------------------
identifier {bootmgr}
device partition=C:
description Windows Boot Manager
locale en-US
inherit {globalsettings}
default {current}
resumeobject {5dd72779-60f6-11dc-9b5d-b530b079b669}
displayorder {current}
toolsdisplayorder {memdiag}
timeout 30

Windows Boot Loader
-------------------
identifier {current}
device partition=D:
path \Windows\system32\winload.exe
description Microsoft Windows Vista
locale en-US
inherit {bootloadersettings}
osdevice partition=D:
systemroot \Windows
resumeobject {5dd72779-60f6-11dc-9b5d-b530b079b669}
nx OptIn

Hi,

Make D: active with disk manager, then shut down and remove C:. Boot the
system with the Vista DVD and run a startup repair.

Rick,

When I try that I get an error: NTLDR is missing.

Thank you for your kind advice.

Hi,

Vista doesn't use ntldr. You get the error because the system is trying to
boot the drive and cannot find the bootloader referred to by the mbr
(perhaps D: at one time contained a prior NT system?) This is why you need
to boot from the Vista DVD and run a startup repair.

I tried the startup repair already as you surgested when I got this
error. I think I had Windows XP on it before.
Cheers,

I got it working now.. turned out I had an extra small partition on my
d derive.. I deleted it and ran startup repair and it works great now!
