Solved Recover windows 7 100MB System Reserved partition

[gregrocker]

This was advised you in the second post. Did it not get done, or did you do it again?

Make sure the partition is formatted primary and set active. All other partitions not active.
Make a system repair CD (or download an ISO) from someone's PC. It is in the Backup & Restore screen.
Run the Startup Repair 3 separate times. This should rebuild your system reserved.

I've done all steps from the second post, but didn't help, perhaps because of at this time:

----------------
Identyfikator {1d858f4d-2cca-11e1-bfcf-c137106dd4cd}

ramdisksdidevice partition=C:
ramdisksdipath \Recovery\1d858f4c-2cca-11e1-bfcf-c137106dd4cd\boot.sdi

Later I've done a backup of the whole hard disk and deleted these entries using bcdedit /delete.

And using:

bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd

3 times repair/reboot

was creating new entries.

On the end I've done these all steps described in my post #20.

Do you have a 100MB system reserved partition which is primary active and another OS partition with the words Boot, pagefile ?

Anyway assuming you do then
Boot the system repair CD or installation disk and go into a command prompt then type:
>bootrec /fixmbr
>bootrec /fixboot
>bootrec /rebuildbcd
Then reboot.

I find startup repair isn't always foolproof.

Hi MFJ

i know this reply kind of waaay too far in time from original thread....
i really almost give up about restoring my windows untill i wake today to do final search before reporting a dead PC
what happen is that i format the 100Mb partition by mistake while operating ubuntu
i was certain that i did not lose everything forever since i can locate all windows files and anything labeled boot@ my eyes become an ocean of tears but i could not reach the shores until i founf this thread


thank you so much for sharing
