Help, deleted all of the bcd entries
Hi. I have a problem, I do not understand the bcdedit too well. I had wanted to remove a boot choice where I had removed a drive. My system had 4 drives with identical copies of Win 7 Pro on each one. I thought msconfig would make this easier...deleting the empty entry, but it still returned.
So in going to easybcd, I somehow managed to delete all of the bcd entries in its entirety. I thought I was downloading I think a back up easybcd file, and it was all of a sudden saying, "all entries erased, use 'add' " or some such. Now I could not get into any of my drives. Running "repair disc" off the start-up cd did not help. In the interest of simplicity, I just installed a fresh copy on the Win 7 on a drive I intend to erase and remove anyway, so I would like to end up with a system with the two drives left. I can get in to bcd with that new installation...question is, is there some way I can re-invent the bcd loader and manager for the other two drives.... and can this be explained to someone who is as seriously challanged with this as me? I can put easybcd on that drive...but now I am suspicious and don't trust myself with it. Or am I screwed and can not get into those drives? I do have a different Win 7 system in another computer if this will help. Thanks.
