I was getting this “Unrecognizable partition table for drive 80. Please rebuild using a Microsoft-compatible FDISK tool” over and over. Eventually Vista would start but it was a big pain the butt. Rebooting and running bootrec.exe /rebuldbcd off of the Vista DVD was not working.

If you have this same problems this is what did work:

Download EasyBCD 1.7.2 - NeoSmart Technologies and choose "reinstall vista bootloader" within the manage bootloader section.

Hope this helps.
