Comment: I was running bunch of VMs on the server and I installed Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 which is compatible with 2008 server however when I rebooted the box I got the "Missing Operating System" message.
I don't know what happened but it's just so strange. I'm not sure what to try to recover from this problem.
Any one has seen this problem?

Reply: Fixed the problem by myself by trying the below steps:
- Booted from the 2008 Server DVD
- Went into command prompt
- Ran bootrec.exe /fixmbr
- Deleted the existing C:\boot\BCD file.
- Then, ran bootrec.exe /rebuildBCD
- It searched for the valid windows 2008 server installation under C:\windows and I said "yes" to make the entry for the same in the Boot partition.
- Rebooted the system.
This restored the system without any loss of data/configuration.
Hope if someone runs into similar problem, he/she will be able to try this out..
I believe that it should work for VISTA boot problems too as the bootload is same for VISTA & 2008.
