Hi, I'm getting this message upon start up
\Windows\System32\winload.exe
The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt
However this only happens when my Windows 7 disc is removed. Two options are presented at the bottom of this screen, Continue = Enter/Exit = Esc, when I press enter another screen pops up stating my previous OS "Vista Home Premium (Recovered)", not sure what recovered means though, but pressing enter here just reverts me back to the previous screen.
I formatted my drive with a fresh Windows 7 install yet it seems a trace of Vista somehow remains.
I have tried many 'remedies' for Winload, including reinstalling Windows 7, but none have worked so far.
EDIT: Tried a Scanos but it found 0 Windows installs... Yet I'm on Windows now, typing this.
