Window 7 recovery issue. File \Boot\BCD

[Shamitmathur]

Hi

I am trying to restore the system to factory setting and it giving error as mentioned in the thread

File \Boot\BCD\ not found.

I was under impression that it will take it from the drive it self.

What is the solution?

Hi

On the Choose an Option screen, click Troubleshoot, and work your way through the screens.

Second Part:-
This may require another PC. Find and Download your .iso from…
(You will need a NON_OEM key for W7.)

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows7


A 3rd party site like…

Expand/Extract/Burn the iso Image onto a DVD/USB as needed.
Microsoft’s Creator Tool will make the required DVD or USB.



Then you can try System Recovery Options / Advanced Options.

NB:- W7 Try running a Startup Repair more than once for a full fix.


From either the C:\ or the X:\ prompt try the following

cd boot
bootrec /FixMBR
bootrec /FixBoot
bootrec /RebuildBCD
