It seems so completely unlikely that you don't know how to restore a
Microsoft Master Boot Record /and/ aren't able to lay your hands on the
info in seconds that I have trouble believing your first statement.

If true, I pity the youth of today.

From the /very first result/ of a googling for, "restore vista mbr":

----------
How to Repair or Fix a broken Vista MBR:

To Restore Vista MBR, please use the following simple solution.

1. Start your computer from the Windows Vista Installation DVD
2. Press a key when prompted to continue
3. Choose your language, time, keyboard and click Next:

Select language and preferences
4. Next, click "Repair your Computer":

Repair your computer
5. Now, from the System Recovery Options dialog, select the "Operating
System" you want to repair, then click Next:

System recovery options, choosing your Operating system
6. From the "Choose a Recovery Tool" dialog menu, select "Command
Prompt":

Recovery Tool Command Prompt
7. Type the following into the "Command Prompt Window":

bootrec.exe /fixmbr
bootrec.exe /fixboot

8. Remove the Vista Installation DVD and restart your PC.

If all goes well, this process should have enabled you to restore your
Vista MBR and you should now be able to boot back into your Windows
Vista Operating system.

As I have no MS anything, I HTH, but YMMV.
