Repair your computer (F8) not working As the title says when you press F8 on bootup and get the options Repair your computer, safe mode etc... the Repair your computer option does not work it just returns to the OS selection screen.
Now I'm pretty sure I could fix this is someone that this works for could please run "bcdedit /v /enum all" at the command prompt and post the output or attach as a text file.
Thank you. | My System Specs |

If your trying to do a Repair Install you have to run it from your Windows disk.
If you don't have the 100MB System Reserve partition on the HD most tools will not work.
Again you will have to run them from the Windows disk.
That is what I have to do since I have no System Reserve partition. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Hopalong/ Godzilla OS Windows7 Pro 64bit SP-1; Windows XP Pro 32bit CPU Intel Core i7-870 Lynnfield 2.93GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Motherboard ASUS P7P55D-E PRO Memory 8GB@1400MHz Crucial Ballistix DDR3-1600 4x2GB Graphics Card ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU/2DI/1GD5 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 Sound Card VIA Onboard Monitor(s) Displays Asus VS248H-P 24"; Samsung SyncMaster 941BW 19"ws Screen Resolution 1920x1080; 1440x900 Keyboard Logitech K-320 Mouse Kensington PSU COOLER MASTER Silent Pro RS850-AMBAJ3-US 850W Modular Case COOLER MASTER HAF 932 RC-932-KKN5-GP Black Cooling Scythe "Mugen-2 Rev.B" (2 ScytheKaze-Jyuni PWM fans) Hard Drives Samsung 830 120GB SSD

Thanks Britton got it to work, just had some incorrect ID's and from yours I was able to determine which ones needed to be the same.
@Hopalong X
I have the 100mb partition but I'm not actually trying to do anything it's just been bugging me for a while that the "Repair your computer" option would never work. I don't even think it was there when I installed Windows and I manually added it when I added GRUB4DOS, what source's of info I used to add it I don't remember.
It really didn't matter because I have the DVD and a external HD with Win 7 install and a bunch of other tools but I'm picky so I wanted it too. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self built OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 2.5GHz (3.77GHz OC) Motherboard Asus P5Q-E Memory Corsair 4GB DDR2 (4x1GB CM2X1024-6400C4) Graphics Card Palit GeForce GTS 250 (1024MB) Sound Card On Board (ADI AD2000B 8ch HD) Monitor(s) Displays Samsung 32in LCD TV Screen Resolution 1360x768 Keyboard Logitech MX5000 Laser (Combo) Mouse Logitech MX5000 Laser (Combo) PSU 550W Antec Neo HE 550 Case Antec P180 Cooling Xigmatex Red Scorpion CPU Cooler. 3x120mm Fans Hard Drives 2 x 1TB Samsung 103SJ (Raid0)
