Windows 7: BOSD after useing magic partition error code 0x0000007b...

Yes, of course it does.

If you have now marked your Windows partition active, try running startup repair from the Windows 7 repair cd/install dvd.



You will probably need to run it a couple of times.

That should do the job and save you having to bother running commands.

In partition wizard richtclick on OS parition and select "explore". Do you see files? If so fine.
Mark that partition active.

And apply the changes

Now boot into Windows 7 recovery environment and do a "startup repair". This places bootmgr on OS partition. and BCD store as well. It sees Windows 7 in the list?

Do startup repair 3 times, to correct everything

well good to see that

go ahead and do the same diskpart solution i asked you to do before !!

diskpart????? It's just the bootmgr file that isn't there. And most likely BCD has to be rebuild. Why diskpart?

oops

holy crap.... that was for another post.... sorry

this is actual command


If that doesn't work, you can substitute that command for the following list (i.e. run the following commands if /fixmbr did not work):

Bootrec.exe /FixBoot --- Writes a boot sector onto the system partition to start Windows

Bootrec.exe /ScanOs ---- Scans all disks for Windows installations and displays them.

Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd --- Scans all disks for Windows installations and prompts you to pick the ones you want to add to the BCD.

If Windows 7 boots, check if this works also: Advanced Boot Options
And if you have an option "repair my computer" there. If not: in elevated command prompt:

startup repair does that automatically! MBR and bootsector are all fine btw

Thank you very much for all the support everyone, all lights are green. im not sure how much help ill be at first but i will try to help out here as much as i can
