Fixing Vista Partition Error Messages when using Bootcamp

Tony Mattke · 2008.12.01 · 1 min read

So, I had to reinstall Vista on my mac today — hadn’t touched it since I moved onto the Late 08 model… and once again, I started getting the common partition errors while Vista loads the bootloader.

Warning

Unrecognizable partition table for drive 80. Please rebuild using a Microsoft-compatible FDISK tool

Luckily I remembered a quick and easy fix that I found when setting it up the first time. Download and install EasyBCD. Open up the Manage BootLoader section… select ReInstall Vista BootLoader, and you should be all set !

Hope this helps !

Your AirPods just connected to the wrong device. Again. iMessage is taking twenty minutes to sync a message between your laptop and your phone sitting six inches apart.
