Does anyone have the source code for the boot program that lives in the boot
sector of a Vista disk? I gather it is very different from the old NT/XP
boot with ntldr, boot.ini, ntdetect.exe . Thanks.

Yes Microsoft does.
Why do you think you require the source code ?

Seeing as it's proprietary, I guess you'll have to steal it from Microsoft,
or find some other thief who's already done it.

root kit writers would want/need that information, who else would?
