Restoring Windows Bootloader

0

Upon trying to install another operating system that used the Clover Bootloader and failing, I now can not boot into my Windows installation, getting boot0ss: error. I never had access to the failed OS installation. How could I delete Clover and switch back to the Windows bootloader from the EFI shell?

I also tried the windows 7 startup repair tool, but it failed. The windows repair tool doesn't even seen my hard drive also.

Since you solved the problem, you can answer your own question with the solution now, as opposed to just editing the post – Simon Sheehan – 2016-06-14T01:34:08.620

Please don't edit the answer into your question. [su] is a question and answer site and answers should be separate from questions. You can answer your own question instead.

I fixed the issue by moving the recovery USB from a USB 3 port to a USB 2 port and running the commands:

diskpart
select disk 0 (This is the hard drive #.)
select partition 2 (This is the Windows partition #.)
active
exit
bootrec /rebuildbcd
a (for all)
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot

This let my operating system boot again.
