Winload.exe Status: 0xc0000428 dualboot XP

[execute5150]

hello mates, my first post here.

ok, let's start.

After a power loss, my computer restarted and i get the error on windows 7.

FILE \windows\system32\winload.exe

Status: 0xc0000428

info: windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file.

first thing i did is , put the Seven dvd , try to repair. (not solved)
2nd° easy bcd and fix the boot. (not solved)
3rd° Load windows XP on the boot screen , go to google , and then i find this.

http://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/30572-problem-dualboot-vista-7-winload-exe-error.html

this guy has the same problem as me , but he's with windows Vista and seven.

i've looked at the replies and i find this.

"In Vista, open an elevated command prompt, Type( or copy and paste these if you like).

cd /d f:\windows\system32

then press enter

bcdboot f:\windows /s c:

then press enter.

Close command prompt.

Restart the pc. "

ok , lets do it on windows xp , just change the partition letters F ( seven ) to c ( seven ) and c: (vista) to h: (XP)

but , when i finish the prompt thing , i get the error.

bcdboot.exe is not a valid win32 bla bla bla , the well known compatibility error.

and now is the question , how do i fix this problem , without formating the system?

thanks!

ps: my seven partition is C:
and my XP partition is H:

It won't fix it automatically

Yes, you use bcdboot for that.

It is on the 7 dvd.

Boot it up, got to command prompt, type

diskpart

lis vol

(find your windows 7 drive letter and active partition driveletter - they may be different from how you see them in windows )

exi

bcdboot <yourwin7driveletter>: /s <activepartitiondriveletter>:

Startup repair doesn't fix the issue with Vista/7 the op described.

Presumably because ms didn't program it to do so.

This is not that issue, however, it appears there is damage to either bootmgr, or winload itself.

If the op follows my posting - we will find out which.
