    win 7 restore and f4 not working


    Hi,

    I am trying to restore my computer but my F4 option is not working. I am using Samsung laptop. I took backup using samsung backup and restore tool. I realised the mistake I have done. I installed linux and deleted that partition directly(formated) from windows. I got grub error. Which I solved with windows CD ( bootable setup installation cd). But I dont have acess to original backup though I did not delete that partition. I have shared the screen shot. I tried getting information from this thread but could'nt find a solution. I dont want to do more mistakes and risk my OS backup. Please let know what needs to be done
    thanks

    So you deleted linux partition. Grub was still thje boot manager in MBR and you repaired that by running "startup repair".
    All done exactly what I should advise you.

    But now the replaced the boot manager from MBR. Most likely not a problem at all. You don't need to restire to "factory settings" anayway. Or do you?

    Do you make backups... that's better and safer.
    Anyway open Elevated Command Prompt and do
    Code:
    bcdedit/enum all > c:\t.txt
    Now post c:\t.txt . You may delete that file afterwards.

    Code:
    diskpart
select  disk  0
list  part
--What's the partition number of the 20GB partition? Assume it's number 7.
select part  7
detail part
exit
    Post output.... I'm interesterd in its "type".

    {7d6a7bc2-ade8-11df-a9e9-002454733de7} has no properties at all. And referenced by noone

    and {7d6a7bc1-ade8-11df-a9e9-002454733de7} is the default boot entry. But that entry doens't exists!

    in elevated command prompt:
    Code:
    bcdedit/delete {7d6a7bc2-ade8-11df-a9e9-002454733de7}
bcdedit/default  {current}
    resumeobject {7d6a7bc0-ade8-11df-a9e9-002454733de7}
    is incorrect and not found.
    in elevated command prompt:
    Code:
    bcdedit /set {bootmgr} resumeobject {7d6a7bbc-ade8-11df-a9e9-002454733de7}
    This won't fixed the main problem, but cleans remaining phantom bcd menu stuff.

    Works? You have a new drive P now? It's not hidden ntfs anymore but normal ntfs. You can explore the P disk!

    Looks like P has WIM files (containers with files.... kind of zip file). You can also see WIM file as an DVD wehere you can boot from. p:\boot\bcd is the boot menu.

    Code:
    bcdedit/store  p:\boot\bcd
    Post output

    Do you want the recovery partition as an extra option to boot from in your current boot menu? Or do you want to know just a trick to start the recovery to factory settings? You most likely never will and have to use it!
