Deleted win 7 os in easybcd and now I can't boot

[Han Solo]

I had 3 OS in boot screen and using easybcd I deleted all 3 including the default which is win 7. I though it wouldn't be a problem but now I can't boot to win 7. All I wanted to do was to get rid of the boot screen in order to have the machine boot faster. The message was this:

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 the computer
2. Choose your language settings and then click "next"
3. Click "repair your computer"

File: \Boot\BCD
status: 0xc0000098
Info: The Windows Boot Configuration Data file does not contain a valid OS entry.

I'm guessing you don't have a Windows DVD?

How many OS do you have installed?

I do have a windows recovery disc I made but it's asking me for drivers for which I can't find.

Never mind it seems I fixed it from the easybcd forum.

Are you referring to the SATA drivers for you hard drive to be recognized?
I've never use a recovery disk but I would have thought it would include the drivers.

Can you borrow someone's Windows 7 DVD for the same bit (32bit, 64bit) as you have installed?

EDIT: Ok I was to slow. How did you fix it, it may help someone else.

I more or less followed these instructions. Recovering the Windows Bootloader from the DVD - EasyBCD - NeoSmart Technologies Wiki
