Boot blank, but windows boots

[richyrichuk]

rite i've managed to make a pig's ear of my boot. my windows still boots fine.....but

my boot menu is blank
in msconfig boot tab
is blank

easyBCD cant see any boot info and asks me for it, it wont write any boot info.

bcdedit constantly says

"the store import operation has failed
the device is not ready"

in repair also when i try to do anything i.e. import

bootrec.exe in repair also doesnt recover it.

what im trying to do is have a boot menu, where i have the option for win 7 then a pen drive with a linux disto on it then also CDrom as i normally chop and change between all them 3 on this pc and im sick of going in the bios 4 times a day to change these options.

cheers guys for any help.

Once upon a time I used to run a quad boot over three hard drives I used the Acronis Disk Director suite. It used to offer a GUI boot loader which was great for this.

SIW2 might have some repair ideas, but I would wipe the HD to clean the boot sector which is likely corrupted. SSD - HDD Optimize for Windows Reinstallation

Blank boot tab in msconfig indicates missing reg entries. If you can, do a system restore otherwise try restoring the backed up reg hives in the regback folder.
