So I had this crisis where the MBR got broken and Windows would not boot. This can happens for many reasons, maybe you tried to dual boot your PC and something went wrong.
Anyway where’s a quick tip on how to fix it (You need a Windows 7 DVD of course)!
1 – Boot your computer to the Windows 7 DVD
2 – Select your language and click next.
3 – Click the button for “Use recovery tools”.
4 – Then select “Command Prompt”.
Do this:
Type: diskpart and press Enter Type: select disk 0 and press Enter type: list volume and press Enter |
6 – Use your DVD drive letter so we can access the DVD
Type: exit and press Enter to close Diskpart Type: G: (DVD drive) and press Enter Type: cd boot and press Enter Type: dir and press Enter |
7 – To restore the “bootsector code”:
TYPE: bootsect /nt60 SYS /mbr and press Enter |
You should be able to restart and boot you Windows now, if it fails, well, I’m out of ideas
