hello! i had set up my hp tx1000 with vista previously installed to dual boot ubuntu studio. The ubuntu distro i had sucessfully installed wasnt working so well, so i attempted to install over it another version. apparently the iso was corrupt and the installation process was a failure(although this process never made it so far as to redo anyting regarding the grub bootloader). Upon reboot i was left without a messed up vista bootloader.
I then downloaded the windows recovery disk, and followed the sucession of methods to attempt repair, to no avail. Ultimately i ended up at step 4: Nuclear Holocaust. I had no form of Bootsect.exe to access, so i installed it on a Pen drive, and substitued the command "x:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt60 all /force" for f:\bootsect.exe /nt60 all /force.
upon my first attempt, i had sucessfully rewritten the bootloader as suggested by this method, i was able to boot to windows, upon doing so immediately installed easybcd.
unfortunately after the next reboot, i was again shown "Missing operating system"
i put in the same vista reboot, followed the same process:
*=sucessful command
*bootrec.exe /fixmbr
*f:\bootsect.exe /nt60 all /force
del C:\boot\bcd (could not find)
*bcdedit /createstore c:\boot\bcd.temp
*bcdedit.exe /store c:\boot\bcd.temp /create {bootmgr} /d "Windows Boot Manager"
bcdedit.exe /import c:\boot\bcd.temp
"the store import operation has failed. the volume does not contain a recognized file system. please make sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted."
i get this also when attempting to add c:\windows to the boot list
Disk check yeilds no corrupt sectors, the partitions are c:windows d:ntsf
and the linux /root /home and swap.
i have also tried attrib bcd -s -h -r
and again the import command, no luck
any suggestions as to what to try to resolve this is much appreciated!
