how can i restore the windows 7 bootloader?


Recommended Posts

get the dvd. when you get to the second screen (after you choose your language) go to repair your computer.

go to command prompt and type this in without the quotes (") :

"bootrec /fixmbr"

press enter.

Type this in without the quotes (") :

"bootrec /FixBoot"

press enter.

Restart.

????

Profit!

I have a similar-ish problem, except with Vista. Dual-booting 7 with Vista has an odd side effect (for me at least) every time you boot Vista it takes over the bootloader and replaced the 7 startup screen with the Vista one! (you know the green progress bar instead of "Starting Windows") only way I can fix it is to do a repair boot option on the 7 DVD. However, next time you start Vista it does it again! anyone know how to make 7 keep it's boot screen? anyone got this problem?? (I have reported this "issue" to MS as well in case your woundering, doing my part!)

    • The so called tri-fold phone is not a phone just like today's so called smartphones are not phones. They are computing camera devices with the ability to make and receive phone calls. For many the phone app is among the least used apps on these so called smartphones.
    • Backpack Hero and Figment are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has just refreshed its weekly giveaways promotion, and there are two games up for grabs this time. Replacing the Sable freebie from last week, Backpack Hero and Figment have now landed for all PC gamers to claim. As always, you have seven days to add the latest indie game permanently to your Epic Games Store library. From the double giveaway, Backpack Hero comes in from indie developer Jaspel, offering a unique inventory management roguelike experience. Aside from collecting items to maximize the potential of a run, like with other roguelikes, here, your placement of the item in the backpack also matters. Each run offers randomly generated dungeons, enemies, and loot to grab. Next, Figment lands from Bedtime Digital Games. This isometric perspective action adventure game takes place in a surreal landscape with hand-drawn artwork, and everything is taking place inside a mind. You take the role of Dusty, the former voice of courage in the mind. The musical adventure involves trying to return Dusty to his old self while also helping the mind beat back its nightmares and restoring its original purpose. The Figment and Backpack Hero giveaways on the Epic Games Store are now active, and they will last until July 10. When not on sale, both games come in at $19.99 to purchase, but PC gamers can add the duo to their library for no cost during the seven-day timeframe. When the giveaways refresh next week, Epic Games plans on giving away two more games: the next musical adventure, Figment 2: Creed Valley, as well as the classic arcade-inspired shoot’em up Sky Racket.
