Can't rebuild BCD
Hi,
I've been running Windows 7 64 bit ultimate for a few weeks now and I went to turn on today and was presented with a black screen with the following error message:
Windows had encountered a problem with I/O
0xc00000e9 boot\bcd
I ran the repair utility on the windows 7 dvd and it was unable to find a previous installation of windows with an error box saying "The file or directory C:\Boot\BCD is corrupt and unreadable please run Chkdsk utility". I've read various people saying that I needed to rebuild the BCD through the command prompt (which I was still able to access). However, every time I tried a command relating to the BCD I got the same message saying "The file or directory C:\Boot\BCD is corrupt and unreadable please run Chkdsk utility"
I've run chkdsk and it threw up no errors. Any suggestions
