       Information
    We always assume you have made your Recovery Disks using the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Media Creator app the first day you had your new PC.
    & made the Startup Repair CD.

    Did you make the OEM manufacturer's Recovery Disks?

    So you don't have any repair/reinstall stuff at all??

    Did you move/resize or even delete partitions?

    Correct partition is active (at least.. it can run bootmgr). Bootmgr reads the bcd file (bootmenu). In bcd file is a boot entry pointing to an inaccessible partition. May disk signature has been changed, or start sector of win7 partition. Or partition is faulty.

    Simple to solve. Just run Startup Repair

    No I do not have any disc at all to repair/reinstall.
    Have no clue if I moved/resized
    I just went to F2 on power up and hit Alt+F10; result is black screen with Edit Boot Options Path:\windows\system32\boot\winload.exe
    below that it has another path its very long and ends with Partition(1)\sources\boot.wim

    I havent done anything more yet... Do i change anything? or just hit enter?

    If you could monitor your partition configuration, that would really help.
    But at the moment you can just go ahead and run Startup Repair. If that fails, make a Windows Repair Disc: System Repair Disc - Create

    EDIT: To get to Startup Repair, continuously press F8 right after you hit Power. That will take you to advanced options.
