Thx again, I've done, but now using F8 boot option -> "Repair your computer", I get the following:


>>>Windows failed to start. A Recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your langugae settings, and then click next
3. Click "repair your computer."

Status: 0xc000000e
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.<<<


Howto get F8 key "Repair your computer" working?

When you said "I've done" I assumed you started SysReserved and now your F8 Repair option would not work. What else would you mean by "I've done" there?

Either way, run the Repairs from Win7 DVD or System Repair Disk with System Reserved marked Active. If this fails after three separate Startup Repairs,change the Active flag to Win7 partition to run the Repairs.

If these fail try Step 8 here: Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Boot

One reason we recommend Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times is because it assures the F8 Winre hotlink is rewritten no matter where you move the Boot Files. Otherwise you could use Command Line or EasyBCD.

Now using F8 "repair your computer" the windows starts normally instead of load WINDOWS RE.

Are you saying that Win7 is booting correctly? What else could this mean, saying it "starts normally?"

So what is the problem now exactly?

At the moment I have just a problem with F8 key.
Windows seems to start normally now, but F8 key doesn't work correctly.
If I press "Repair your computer", then Win7 starts normally instead load WinRE files.

Please post back a screenshot of your maximized Disk Mgmt drive map and listings, using Snipping Tool in Start menu.

In rare cases the hotlink to Winre on F8 is lost and not rewritten by Startup Repair. You may have to wait until reinstall or message our colleague SIW2 who is expert at this.

First of all many, many thanks for ALL really helpful answers, great forum!

This problem is solved now.

I've done the following:

So I booted up using gparted, formated the 100MB partition using NTFS, created "System Reserved" label, because got lost during format and set it bootable.
Then I booted up with WIN7 setup CD and I've done 3 times "Repair" and between 3 times restart.
Now my F8 key works correctly during the startup, it loads WinRE files.

And now it's time for a cold beer...


Just in case, if someone really needs:
