    I have this issue, my laptop is a msi gx630 and has vista home premium installed on the computer. I don't have the recovery disc because it didn't come with the laptop. If I buy vista home premium will it automatically fix this issue?

    I've seen this, you either have a corrupted boot manager or your chipset doesn't like your hard drive.
