You can do the bcdboot command if you change directory to where the DLLs that it depends on exist. I just found this out and hadn't yet added it to the tutorial. XP has some of the same DLLs as 7 but they're the wrong version for bcdboot. What you do is CD to the dir (h:\windows\system32 in the example) then run bcdboot with that as the current directory. That will cause bcdboot to pick up the right DLLs and it will work OK.
for some reason when i do
cd e:\windows\system32
it doesnt do anything
i can see it in my computer and get to the folder and see the dlls
ive tried
cd e:\
and still nothing

Try step by step.
First change the letter:
if You are on c:\{some_path}\
simply write e: and hit enter.
Than try to go to the desired folder with cd command eg.: cd windows\system32
E is the new windows 7 drive.
im using XP so i have to go to that folder first so it has the correct dlls but then it gives these errors
edit: the picture is wrong. i pasted the second error into it aswell but i got the wrong one so they are both same. the second one should be
bla bla entry point swprintf_s could not bla bla bla msvcrt.dll.

I used the Windows 7 dvd to go into command promt and did the bcd thing and it worked. it said
boot files created successfully
but i still can't boot into Windows 7. it says
windows boot failure, insert system disk and press enter.
Later this evening i will try repairing the startup with the Windows 7 disk.
I tried it before and what happens is that it starts to restart but it doesn't. it just stays at the shutting down screen. i can't move the mouse or anything so i think it crashes/freezes. it ALWAYS does this. whether its just before completeing install or doing this, the Windows 7 installer always freezes before shut down. either that or it takes a long long time for Windows 7 to shut down, which i guess isnt the case.
