I'm fixing my boot record with bootrec.exe, the first command goes:
C:\>bcdedit /export c:\BCD_Backup
Immediately I receive this error here:
The store export operation has failed.
The requested system device cannot be found.
Likewise, the next command fails, because bcd file is missing:
C:\>attrib bcd -s -h -r
Lastly, when trying the next command, all it returns is "The requested system device cannot be found".
C:\>bootrec /RebuildBcd
I'm using Windows 7 setup image to operate. Have Vista installed atm. Has it happened to you? I'd appreciate some orientation.
um. Hi again, I haven't been able to repair this but I'm learning a lot about how Windows manages its boot sessions. Basically, if I run I run C:\Boot>bcdedit it tells me
Windows Boot Manager {bootmgr} is located on partition=H: and that Windows Boot Loaderis on partition=C:\Windows\system32\winload.exe ... I'm not sure, but I think the Recovery CD's Recovery tool is 'seeing' the bootmgr on drive H: and instead of fixing the BCD on the C: drive, it's fixing the one on H:
What do you think? – ocurro – 2010-04-03T08:40:22.120
