I have a computer with two drives each containing a different
operating system (C: Vista Home Premium and G: Vista Ultimate). After
modifying the boot order etc, I am now unable to boot (C: Vista Home
Premium) and it no longer appears on the boot menu.

Note: I haven't been able to get the recovery console to run.

Can someone please help me repair this with BCDEdit?

Here is the output of BCDEdit:
