Pikey Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Not sure .. but maybe Vistabootpro can fix it? .. or Supergrubdisk? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/720866-how-can-i-restore-the-windows-7-bootloader/#findComment-590406066 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunden Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I remember that you could boot from the Vista DVD and repair the bootloader. Should probably work with the Windows 7 DVD in a similar fashion.

Snowl Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 get the dvd. when you get to the second screen (after you choose your language) go to repair your computer. go to command prompt and type this in without the quotes (") : "bootrec /fixmbr" press enter. Type this in without the quotes (") : "bootrec /FixBoot" press enter. Restart. ???? Profit!

Xerxes Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I have a similar-ish problem, except with Vista. Dual-booting 7 with Vista has an odd side effect (for me at least) every time you boot Vista it takes over the bootloader and replaced the 7 startup screen with the Vista one! (you know the green progress bar instead of "Starting Windows") only way I can fix it is to do a repair boot option on the 7 DVD. However, next time you start Vista it does it again! anyone know how to make 7 keep it's boot screen? anyone got this problem?? (I have reported this "issue" to MS as well in case your woundering, doing my part!)

pbcopter Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 TO: +Xerxes To get back the Windows 7 start up screen: From within Windows 7 Right Click on the Command prompt icon and choose "Run as Administrator" Type bcdboot %WinDir% /l en-US Hit enter. The Windows startup should be back when you reboot.

rawr_boy81 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Do a back up of your work then do a clean install or otherwise it'll be nothing short of an abortion when it comes to stability, reliability and security.
