I do not have any Windows arround at the moment, but I was hit by ...

If you are dual booting with linux (heaven forbid people do that with M$ 
installed), then you need to make the vista partition the active 
partition (boot into linux and run fdisk /dev/<harddrive> and then p to 
print the partitions, then a, and then choose the number of the vista 
partition. Press w to write it, then reboot. Boot into the Vista cd and 
do the repair. For some reason, Vista will not repair, nor find itself, 
if it's not the active partition.
I was getting the 0xc000000e error and this fixed it.

... when installing openSUSE 10.3 on a friends machine. But I thought it 
was his messed up windows install ...

Having an active partition seems to mean a lot to a windows installation.

Hopefully somebody knows more ... ;)
