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!)

    • slowness that result in unproductive, when something was easy fast one click now its basically 2 or 3 clicks and more mouse movement not the end of the world sure but forcing changes for the sake of it for no good reason its one reason why people dont like 11.
    • WhatsApp for Android expands chat themes with 18 new colors by Paul Hill The WhatsApp Beta for Android has just been updated to version 2.25.19.2 (via WABetaInfo) bringing with it 18 new color options, expanding the selection from 20 to 38 colors. This update brings the Android app up to parity with the iOS version, which got this beta update at the start of the month. The expansion of colors will give users greater personalization options for their WhatsApp chats. You can pick the new colors individually per chat or from the settings for every chat, complementing the existing support for various custom backgrounds. How the new chat themes work To set the new colors for individual chats, just open the chat you want to theme, press the three dot menu in the top right and go to themes and change the chat color. To change the theme color across the whole of the app, just go to settings and then select chats and change the chat theme. The new colors are compatible with both light and dark modes and affect the message bubbles. Unlike Messenger where theme changes can be seen by your contact, theme changes in WhatsApp are only visible to the user who applies it. User reception and future outlook Most people running WhatsApp are using the stable version, so you won’t see these new theme colors yet, we will have to wait a bit longer for that. Even if you’re on the beta, the feature may not be available yet as it’s being rolled out. While not a massive change, lots of people like to theme their WhatsApp messages so this change will be welcomed by those that do that. The messaging app scene is very competitive, so this will help Meta retain users on WhatsApp by boosting satisfaction. If you have had a chance to try out the new themes, let us know in the comments what you think!
    • Yup, that thing. Thank you. I found it invaluable for workflow.
    • Windows 11 finally gets a small, but long-requested Windows 10 taskbar feature — and it is not the ability to use small taskbar buttons.
