Bootloader W7 - Removed from the Universe -
rafay - 06.05.2010
So hey guys, I've bit of a weirdest problems over here. It looks like I flushed out my boot-loader from the whole universe. I've already tried WinRE (Startup Recovery Option), resulting failure. I've also tried EasyBCD, it won't even start because it can't find the boot loader and not even able to fix it, there by, hitting another big failure on my face. So what I actually did that I installed Mac OS X (Hackintosh), which again was failure installation. So I accidentally, removed Mac OS X because I didn't liked it much (Macs can't do anything btw) but it took away my life! D: It also removed the boot loader from which I booted in to Windows 7. But luckily, that Mac's installation is still in my Thumb drive, so I plugged it in and I was able to see the loader from which I selected the Windows 7's partition. I'm in Windows now but I don't wanna do the same thing again. I want my boot loader back. I couldn't find on ****** either.
NOTE: The boot loader is not available in the "Advanced system settings" under the "Startup and Recovery". All I see is a clean shaved list.
NOTE2: It is neither available in "msconfig" under "boot". Again, clear list and non-selectable options.
Thanks,
Rafay.

Are you saying you deleted the master boot record?

Well, if you removed the MBR then you gotta reinstall...

If he deleted the discs mbr, then he wouldn't even be able to start up windows
start -> run -> cmd ->
bcdedit /set device partition=C: (or whichever you have win7 on)
bcdedit /set path \Windows\system32\winload.exe

If you have a Windows 2000 or XP CD, boot with it and go to the recovery console, and try the 'fixmbr' command.

Boot from the Windows 7 installation DVD and use Startup Repair.

Which OS's are you using on that computer? If only windows 7 then use startup repair, if you want to multiboot use grub4dos bootloader
