Most painless way to restore Windows 7 bootloader?
I believe EasyBCD can do this, but to do it manually you can do the following:
- Copy
bootmgr
to the root of your volume (probablyC:\
). - Run
bootsect /nt60 /mbr /sys
(I hope I got the command-line right)
I'm not sure where I found bootsect
-- it might have been in C:\Boot
, or it might have been in the Windows AIK or on the Windows CD. You'll have to search for it.
