Hi i try to boot my vista with ntldr command directly and it works  
like a charm.

I have try to put the file on another partition and made:
root= partition where BCD are
ntldr /bootmgr

but without success. But i think it's because of a bad BCD file.

About the command, i think that it will be simpler for the user if we  
have only one command: chainloader (like in grub4dos) that will try to  
detect the type of the bootloader. This is only my personal opinion.
