    Are you booting the media in bios mode?

    Ther are some things you could try:

    1. It is not necessary to have a separate system partition. You could mark the windows partition active and create the boot critical files on the windows partition.

    2. If you use win8/10/11 bcdboot you can specify the mode with /f switch

    e.g. bcdboot e:\windows /s c: /f bios

    or after marking e: active

    bcdboot e:\windows /s e: /f bios

    I believe Bios Legacy because I've had this Windows installed for a long time and my stuff is old.
    I was looking at setupact.log but I didn't find anything searching for "detected boot environment" inside the setupact.log
    files I looked at them all.
    My Bios is enabled to support "UEFI and Legacy"Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
    Intel Core i7 3770 @ 3.40GHz
    32.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz (11-11-11-28)
    Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. B75M-D3H (Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz)
    2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (Gigabyte)
    447GB KINGSTON SA400S37480G ATA Device (SATA-2 (SSD))
    My windows is "Windows 7 Ultimate x64" (Partition in MBR).
    Now I was reading a little about Bios legacy and UEFI... and I realized that the pendrive I have with Windows 7 that I'm using to create/arrange the bot is GPT..., from what I've been reading, the pendrive would have to be in MBR, is that it? ..
    So I have to download a new image and save it to a pendrive in MBR...?
    I downloaded the file you posted but I need it for win7..

    thanks

    You need to boot from the pendrive in bios mode (not efi) if you want to use win7 bcdboot.exe for an mbr system.

    Newer versions of bcdboot have the /f switch which can be used when booted in the the wrong mode.

    finally after several hours trying to resolve it .

    I formatted the pendrive where the iso was
    I downloaded a new original iso only with Windows 7 Ultimate x64
    I created the Bios MBR image on the pendrive using rufus
    I formatted the 100mb partition (again, I think I formatted this partition about 50 times hehe)
    I turned on the computer to boot from the pendrive, right at the beginning I noticed changes in the layout..
    So I tested bootrec /rebuildbcd (but it didn't even find a system, strange because it used to find it... )
    Then I used bcdboot e:\windows /s c: "command completed successfully." (e=where windows is installed,c=100mb partition where the boot is)
    Then I also ran the restart fix tool twice. (I don't know if it helped but as it was there I took the opportunity to run it)
    And then I restarted and it worked! I wasn't believing it.

    If I had known about this issue with the GPT EFI boot and bios legacy mbr I wouldn't have wasted so many days trying to install an efi boot -.-
    People talk a lot about GPT MBR etc but forget to say that the ISO needs to be written to one of these two to rebuild the boot!
    I thought that when recording the ISO, both were recorded and the system would automatically include the correct one in the boot reconstruction, in the end I learned a lesson.
    I'm not one to install Windows all the time, in fact I've been using mine for over 10 years without formatting, whenever I need to change HD/SDD I clone it and any problem that arises over the years I've always fixed it.
    Note: While my main one was having a problem, I was using another SSD that has Windows 7 x64 ultimate installed in GPT with EFI boot, this helped to confuse me, I knew about recording the disk but I didn't know the boot issue.

    Thank you very much for your interactions and help in the topic helped to resolve.

    It is easy to create a usb that can boot in either mode.

    then select which mode to boot the usb from by using the F12 one time boot menu.
