Fixing the Windows boot loader repair process
Fixing the Windows boot loader repair process
I completed it once I removed my Ubuntu partition and everything functioned properly.
I wasn't sure just entering "bootrec" would help. I recall needing to run "bootrec.exe" as well, though they might both function. For me it turned out to be: bootrec.exe /fixmbr bootrec.exe /fixboot
I started from a Win7 recovery disk, entered login, and performed these actions: opened CMD, typed bootrec.exe /fixmbr, waited for the success message, exited the prompt, shut down the machine, ejected the disc, and launched the computer.
Yes, I understand. You're wondering about the reason behind having a partition that's not being used, which is roughly 8 gigabytes in size.
