[SOLVED] Can't boot into Windows

[Docfxit]

I have Windows 10 on C: partition 2
I have Windows 7 on D: partition 4
I can't boot to either of them right now.
When I boot with a Windows 7 CD it says it's not the correct version of the OS.
When I boot with a Windows 10 CD and select Repair Boot three times, rebooting in between each repair it doesn't fix it.



I have a batch file that I am creating. I don't think it would be safe for me to post it because it isn't fully tested. I'm happy to share it with you privately if your interested.

I'm unclear on how to run:
BCDboot H:\Windows /s C: /f all /v
I can't figure out the correct source drive. Currently my CD is on drive H:
When I boot the PC this is currently what I get:

Please help me get this fixed.

Thank you,
Docfxit

Just open an elevated command prompt from Windows RE and rebuild the entire boot configuration store using the following commands:

bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd

If that fails, then you can delete the store and recreate using these steps:

diskpart - Opens the Disk Partitioning tool
select disk 0 - Will select your first hard drive (the one with the Windows partition on it)
list volume - Note the number of the partition that have no drive letter assigned to it, is of 260MB of size and have "FAT32" listed under the "FS" column
select volume X - X will be the number of your partition with a size of 260MB, the EFI System Partition one that you identified in the last command
assign letter=Z: - It'll assign the Z: letter to the EFI System Partition
exit - To exit the diskpart utility

Now you'll be back in the command prompt, enter the following commands:

cd /d Z:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot - Goes to the "Boot" directory in the Z: partition
attrib Z:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD -h -r -s - Removes the hidden, read-only and system attributes from the BCD folder
ren Z:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD BCD.old - Renamed the BCD folder to BCD.old
bootrec /rebuildbcd - This command will rebuild the BCD.

When it asks you Add the installation to boot list?, press on y followed by Enter and if it succeed, you'll have a The operation completed successfully message. Once you're done, close the command prompt, restart your computer and try to upgrade again.

I have completed all commands. I can now boot into Windows 10.
I have used EasyBCD to add Windows 7 to the boot menu.
When I boot into Windows 7 I get a problem with:
\Windows\System32\winload.efi

I tried booting to a USB Partition Magic and ran SFC on the Windows 7 partition.
It didn't find any problems.
I tried booting to a USB Macrium. I ran Boot repair. It found both Windows 10 and Windows 7.
I still get the above error booting into Windows 7.
If I boot with the Windows 7 CD it gives me an error saying it's the wrong version of the OS.
So far nothing has put the file \Windows\System32\winload.efi on the Windows 7 partition.
I can boot into Windows 10 now.

Please open an elevated command prompt and then enter the following command:

bcdedit /enum

Please post the output in your next post.

I started off with Windows 7 32bit installed in mbr.
I wanted to convert this to Windows 10 64bit. The Windows 10 install wouldn't let me install it unless I converted from mbr to GPT.
I converted to GPT and installed Windows 10 on a new partition. I couldn't get it to dual boot with Windows 7.
I converted it from GPT to mbr, repaired the boot sector/records.
It's now dual booting with both Windows 7 32bit and Windows 10 64bit.

Thank you for your help,
