I must have been struck by a nasty virus. When I boot my computer, I get a screen with the following message instead:
"Info: the boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible."
I can't boot in Safe Mode. Windows is not found.
I booted my Win7 install DVD and went into Repair, but it doesn't even SEE my Windows installation! Auto-repair doesn't work.
Entering the CLI, I can find my Boot drive on G: (not unusual). A DIR shows my "Windows" folder plain as day. Opening it (cd \Windows | dir) shows all contents intact.
I tried executing the following commands:
BootRec /Fixmbr (reports "success".)
BootRec /Fixboot (reports "Extension not found". Google has NOTHING on this error.)
BootRec /Rebuildbcd (finds Windows on G:, but when I say Yes to repair, I get "Extension not found" again.)
What in the heck happened? How do I fix this?
HELP!
