No g2ldr --- arghhhh

I have an odd problem, I didn't install any new hardware or software, one day after rebooting the computer would not boot, instead I get a No g2ldr error.

The computer was running Windows 7 Home Edition and the only answer I've found was to use NeoSmart, anyone have any suggestions ? I don't have the original Windows 7 Home edition discs nor do I have a rescue disc.

Why this happened is beyond me, I know the HDD on the computer was not performing well but it still was working.

Have a look at this website. There is a link under the Windows Vista, 7, 8, & 8.1 section for getting Easy Recovery Essentials for Windows that might work for you. It looks like you will have to pay for it though.

Is there a no pay solution ?

No other PC around (second one at home, friend, neighbor) with a Win 7 machine to create a Repair Disk? Having the same bit (32 or 64) is enough. It would be best to first try a startup repair - Startup Repair. By the way does it not even load Advanced Boot Options (F8 menu)?

No one I know has Windows7 repair disc, my other PC is Windows10. I'll try the second option.

I upgraded the problem from a No g2ldr to 0xc0000034. Anyone have or can create a Windows 7 Home Repair / Recovery disc ?

I don't have Windows7 installed to create a Windows7 repair disc; I created one within Windows10, that is not working.
