I've restored NTFS containing Windows Vista. But the bootloader or bootsector got corrupted.

How can i detect what of them got corrupted?

How can i restore bootloader if it's corrupted?

How can i repair bootsector if it's corrupted?

All of these things should be done from linux or from bootable CD.

Boot from Windows installation DVD, choose to repair your PC, choose recovery console and then type in "bootrec /fixmbr", next type "bootrec /fixboot" just for being shure that's everything was taken into consideration. That's Vista way. Win 7 way is to type in "bootsect /nt60 SYS".
