It gives me an unmountable boot error. So I looked on google
that I might have a dead hard drive or a software corruption. So I'm hoping its a software corruption. Anyway, I downloaded the windows vista 32 bit recovery disc, and I downloaded Easy BCD. I followed the steps and copied everything to the USB and added the new entry and checked the files. But whenever I start up my computer it just says," Disk Read Error" Press any key to continue in an infinite loop. I can't enter a command prompt because my computer won't even load
the black safe mode selection screen. I can press esc and get to the bios menu and it says hard drive section 1-07 failed. I don't know what to do..should I just give up? I got the blue screen many times before but I didnt know what it was. And the computer has had to reformat itself alot. I got the laptop in 2007 and I have my files on there...so am I out of luck? ]]> Windows Support Venomggxx http://neosmart.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9192 http://neosmart.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9192 Windows 7 and Windows 2003 Problem http://feeds.neosmart.net/~r/nst_forums/~3/bz0PXswvN7k/showthread.php Thu, 02 Feb 2012 15:50:50 GMT Hi, I have 3 hdd's connected and had windows 7 as my main OS, i installed windows 2003 on another drive.

Ok so I have a Toshiba satellite c660 here which was running windows 7.
When I boot it up now I get the error message 0xc000000f "Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing or corrupt".

So I made a recovery disk from here and burnt it using imgburn at max speed. I read somewhere that burning it at 4x or under made a difference but I don't know how true that is since its a problem with the bootloader not the disc.

So I changed the BIOS settings to boot from dvd first and tried an automated recovery 3 or 4 times but each one told me that it was a problem that can't be fixed automatically and to remove any USB or media devices attached to the laptop. Since there is none attached I gave up with that and followed the instructions given here.

Starting from option 2 I tried doing a manual repair. It returned as "operation successful" but I still can't boot into windows.

So I tried option 3 and followed everything the the letter and It said all the right things "operation successful" but unfortunatley I still can't get past the error.

Any ideas? any help would be very much appreciated! ]]> Windows Support nyiss http://neosmart.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9189 http://neosmart.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9189 Accidentally messed up Win7 default bootloader http://feeds.neosmart.net/~r/nst_forums/~3/SBfulnkq1GM/showthread.php Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:54:19 GMT I need EasyBCD to fix a multi-boot situation. I took the non-booting drive from my desktop and plugged it into my wife's laptop, and installed EasyBCD 2.1.1

I really newbed it next: I installed the bootloader on C: (my wife's perfectly fine laptop). In my dinking around, I must've also deployed it and written an entry for Win7. At the time I thought "It can't hurt" it's just replacing the Win7 bootloader with the same thing. WRONG. My wife now hates me, because her system says "Windows not genuine" now.

Is there a fix to this? Could I just uninstall EasyBCD and have things go back to normal? (No, I didn't backup the original bootloader). Or have I "screwed the pooch"? (By the way, a little warning, or heads up in the software would have helped me (who should have known better).

Thanks for the wonderful product. (It did what it needed to, and repaired my bad drive to booting). ]]> Windows Support morrie http://neosmart.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9188 http://neosmart.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9188 Error? fix? http://feeds.neosmart.net/~r/nst_forums/~3/Ki8N10A8gmI/showthread.php Wed, 01 Feb 2012 07:17:04 GMT Hey forum first post EVER!! :D love it so far^^

ISSUE:
I installed the beta 2.2 EASYBCD, for some reason it didn't really work, so i thought i might have been because my windows drive wasn't active, so i made it active and isntalled BCD and i couldnt get it work. So i rebooted to enter my osx86 but foir some reason my USB couldn't be read, i thought it was wierd so i tried to boot into osx86 though my installation disk but then my pc rebooted. so i tried standard into windows then i got a boot error saying it was related to a file C:/BOOT/BCD

I tried to boot into the disk and repair my bootsect with following "bootsect /nt60 /mbr" it didn't help so i tried a normal "look for startup problems" but i said there was a disk fault taking 1 hour to fix, but after 2 secs it said it couldn't fix it. I think its because my windows partition is set active, should i try to make another partition active? etc. my osx86 partition? i need help^^

thanks in advance

Addendum:

EDIT: i set my windows partition active before rebooting and then this issue started

All i did was:
Set my C: to active
Install the BCD option

There is something i am not sure to understand about the licencing of EasyBCD.
I want to use EasyBCD on computer in my Company. I won't make profit of this or i won't sell anything from this.
It will only easy my administrative tasks.
In this way could you tell me if this use is concerned by the free or the commercial licence please ?

I put the BIOS to my DVD drive , i made it to the BCD screen.

I started startup repair, it said windows cannot fix this problem automatically.

Then I tried the bootrec./fixMBR and bootrec./fixboot

Both of them told me the device is not ready.

My C: Drive says the device is not ready.
Not only my C drive, for E:, D: drives too. So none of these commands are doing anything.

Before I was able to access my windows partition, and i tried resetting it to factory settings, but it FROZE.

After i restarted my computer and it doesn't even let me access my windows partition anymore. Safe mode doesn't work Either.

Main error I get is Windows boot Manager, the file winload.exe is missing or corrupt application.
