Here is my boot manager info retrieved using the command line command: bcdedit
As you can see the upper {bootmgr} area is pointing to the wrong device - partition=L
I don't know why since this volume never had a OS installed? In windows 7 using computer management/disk management it shows the volume as (System, Active, Primary Partition) and on the volume there exists a Boot folder
all the BCD files and a bcdmgr file? I tried removing them from the volume and no matter how I arranged the permissions it would not let me move or edit the files. Hence I need some help!
If someone can tell me how to use this either at the command prompt or inside windows 7 computer management I would be most grateful. I am the sole user and administrator. I only have one log on as of yet.
I can only boot into windows 7 now by having the boot priority set to cd/dvdrom and having the win7 install dvd in the drive! I tried to figure this out using the help files from bcdedit command but I just couldn't figure out how to replace the entries I wanted to change. And not even though the device/partition is wrong the hex ID is the same? Very confusing!
Thanks vvvm for any assistance!
