I have had a dual boot machine, using grub2 to launch ubuntu and windows 7. Windows 7 has a very small boot partition, plus the large partition which contains Windows plus my data. Because of an issue with Windows Backup, I wanted to boot into safe mode, but there was no way I could insert an F8 when grub2 hands off to the Windows bootloader.
I installed EasyBCD, so as to add a Safe Mode option into the Windows boot process. Unfortunately, at this point, when I boot the computer, I receive a message "Missing operating system." I decided to rebuild the Windows boot loader. I booted from the Windows 7 installation disk, and went to the recovery console.
I tried the automated repair and it failed and threw an error "System volume on disk is corrupt. Repair action: file system repair (chkdsk)." So I ran chkdsk on both the boot and system partitions, and it reported no errors. No success with manual repair, so I moved on to the nuclear option.
I deleted the existing bcd, and created a temporary store on the boot partition. (In the recovery console, the boot partition is named C: and the system partition with Windows is named F: Although, when Windows boots, the system is on C: and boot partition is called Q
However, the nuclear process failed when I executed:
I'm getting messages that my system volume is not recognized, although it was working last night. What's up?
Thanks.
