Windows is on what's called E in this recovery mode. Correct? Normally the active partition or first primary partition is called C in this recovery mode as far as I know. But D is active is 100MB and labeled "System Reserved". This is definitely the boot partition.
both found?Code:dir/a d:\boot\bcd dir/a d:\bootmgr
You have just a win7 system..... not dual boot with win8, vista or linux?
To delete the bootmenu:
Now recreate it.Code:attrib -h -s -r d:\boot\bcd del d:\boot\bcd
It finds your win7 instance and asks if it can add it to the menu. Of course you want that.Code:bootrec /rebuildbcd
Try to boot normally and post results. If system does start succesfully perform a "startup repair" 3 times to be sure the bootmenu is configured correctly
Startup Repair
Tip
Sometimes it may take running a startup repair (3) separate times with restarting the computer after each time before it fully fixes the startup issue.
Just a friendly reminder: It is much easier to do this using EasyBCD (click Download - no Name or Email required) which does the work for you.
Have you tried EasyRecoveryEssentials which is a beefed-up WinRE, linked in easy recovery essentials free alternitive that can run in LivePE - Windows 7 Help Forums.
