We haven't tried to see if any of the files found on (hd0,0) is a copy (renamed) of BOOTMGR:īootmgr <- this is most probably a 'fake' or however not-working BOOTMGRīootmgr_ <- this maybe is a backup copy of BOOTMGRīOOTSECT.BAK <- this very likely is a backup copy of the bootsector that
If I am right and the \boot\BCD is OK there is no need of a windows 7 install disk or of a PE, *anything* that can copy (on NTFS) the /Windows/Boot/PCAT/bootmgr Now we need to boot to *something* (like a CD/DVD or USB stick). Possibly with a more recent version of grub4dos we could try a few more tricks, but I believe that version being a very old one it simply misses a number of needed commands. If this is the case the \boot\BCD is still OK, and all it is needed is to *somehow* copy the BOOTMGR from the second partition to the first one. I don't think it is a modified version, it is simply a very old (never recommended) about the matter, it is likely that the issue is that the BOOTMGR that is chainloaded from the Windows directory on (hd0,1) tries to load the \boot\BCD from the same partition (while in reality it is in (hd0,0)).
