My setup was win xp on main partition and win7 on the extended. Win7 was installed after win xp. The active partition is the win xp one, therefore the win7 bootmgr is located in D:\Boot. D being the win xp drive as seen from win 7. I decided to delete win xp by simply deleting all the files and merging the partitions later. Halfway through the process, I remembered that boot-loader is on the win xp partition. I quickly aborted and found some files remaining in the D:\Boot\ and in the root of drive D. Now I have ran the bcdboot c:\windows
command, which seems to have restored the D:\Boot\ contents. The bcdedit
output shows

So everything seems intact, however I wanted to make sure I can safely reboot. What else should I do or check to make sure the win 7 will boot fine? Can I somehow test the bootloader without rebooting?
UPD: The checks mentioned above and in the accepted answer were enough, system booted fine.
Everything is in order here. And that's a useful tool in general, thanks. – Stranger1399 – 2015-08-24T12:06:45.760
