Lost boot files to boot into W7

[acdcfan]

HI
Just now I lost boot files to boot into W7... I am running triple boot with XP, Vista and W7,.... Now I cannot boot into W7 XP and Visa are OK... I can see and access W7 drive from any of 2 OS but can not boot into it.
How can I fix this issue?



Someone please help me to do this, I really do not want to reinstall

Put the Windows 7 disk in and boot off it. Look for the option to repair your installation. Works just about every time.

Repair install did the trick....
Now I get 3 options....
Earlier version of Windows
Windows Vista
Windows 7 ( recovered )

Glad to have helped. Your next question is likely to be, "How do I edit this ugly list?"

I will use Easy BCD to remove ( recovered ) and change first entry to XP

Thanks .....
I read it and used EasyBCD to edit entry names....
Instead of earlier version of Windows now I have Microsoft XP Professional
Vista stayed the same, and I removed "(recovered)" from Windows 7

Hello StefanJov.



See if adding a boot entry using EasyBCD from within Windows 7 sprts it and keep us informed.
