Not it just seems to fail and fail. :|
Once you have tried it until it says it has nothing else to repair, I will give you commands to run.
Well I'm going to have to go to sleep. Tomorrow, if your here, I'll keep this going.
I tried system restore but it said select an operating system or something... and that message sort of freaked me out. O.O
We need to mark the XP partition inactive and the Win7 partition inactive.
The thing to remember when doing this is that you must determine without question which partition listed is the Win7 and which is the XP. Do not proceed otherwise.
Boot into the Win7 Repair console, open a Command Line and type:
DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK # (for hard disk)
LIST PARTITION
select partition # (for XP partition ONLY, be sure by size and position)
inactive
exit
Reopen Command Line and type:
DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK # (for hard disk)
LIST PARTITION
select partition # (for Win7 partition ONLY, be sure by size and position)
active
exit
Now try running Startup Repair 3 times.
If this fails, boot back into Repair Command Line and type
Bootrec.exe /fixboot
bootrec.exe /fixmbr
now reboot, if Win7 doesn't start, run Startup Repair again 3 times
if this fails, boot back into Win7 Repair command line and type:
Bootsect.exe /nt60 all /force
reboot, if Win7 doesn't start run Startup Repair repeatedly.
When I do the first two lines, it says Disk 0 Online, 232 GB 0 B
Good. Now,
SELECT DISK 0
LIST PARTITION
