Option 1. Automatically – using Windows recovery environment (RE) in Windows 7.

During installation of Windows 7 on your hard drive is automatically generated by the service partition, giving access to the Windows recovery environment (RE) (Recovery Environment). By using this service partition, you can:
-boot recovery environment with hard drive
-create a CD containing the recovery environment

1) boot into recovery environment from the hard disk or disk recovery system.
In order to access the advanced boot options menu, press F8 after you turn on your computer (but before loading the operating system).
2) select the first menu item Repair your computer and press Enter.
3) select the language keyboard layout that you have a password associated with the administrative account.
4) type the administrator password. After you will see a window with the options of recovery.
5) select the Startup repair, also sometimes can help point System Restore to return to the point created before the problem occurred.

Option 2. Recovery manually, with the creation of the multiboot menu.

Here the main thing is to get to the command line to introduce further commands.

1) download the archive Bootfiles_x86+x64.zip (contains files: Bcdboot.exe; Bcdedit.exe; Bootsect.exe)
2) create a folder Boot
3) unpack the downloaded archive and copy Bootsect.exe and bcdedit.exe, you version in the Boot folder you created.
4) start to work:
5) boot into Windows on another drive or recovery environment
6) run the command line.
Windows: Win + R->cmd->Ok.
In a restore: choose language keyboard layouts, where you have a password associated with an administrative account. Type the administrator password. Click Command Prompt.

Further, all commands typed into the command line would be the same as in Windows and recovery environment.

1) Windows 7 uses an improved method for load-the BCD store. This store contains all the information about all operating systems installed on the computer. Consequently, loaders in earlier Windows operating systems may not be used to run it. So, to restore the boot sector of Windows 7, overwrites the boot sector on all partitions:
X:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt60 all
where X is the drive letter that contains the Bootsect.exe
2) If you have a second system Windows XP, you must perform additional steps:

Create in Windows 7 boot entry – boot entry for Windows XP.
Bcdedit /create {ntldr} /d "Microsoft Windows XP"
If the system will refuse to do so, then this repository already created, so it only rename:
Bcdedit /set {ntldr} description "Microsoft Windows XP"
Next, specify the boot loader of Windows 7 device file locations Windows XP:
Bcdedit /set {ntldr} device partition=C:
Then specify the boot loader of Windows 7 the path to boot loader of Windows XP:
Bcdedit /set {ntldr} path \ntldr
After you add the Windows XP in boot menu and placing it under the rest:
Bcdedit /displayorder {ntldr} /addlast
Also for loaders, you can use EasyBCD to perform the above steps using a graphical interface.
For information:
Master Boot Record-MBR compliant by the operating system loader (ntldr-Windows XP and bootmgr-for Windows 7/Vista);
Boot files: Windows XP -files ntdetect.com and boot.ini, for Windows 7/Vista – Boot Configuration Data (BCD), which is located in a hidden system folder BOOT.

Option 3. Restore manually by using the Bootrec.exe tool.

1) boot into recovery environment (press F8, again to select Repair your computer and press Enter)
2) select the operating system you want to restore, and click “Next”
3) in the System Recovery Options window, click Command Prompt
4) where you would enter:
Bootrec.exe /FixMbr
Option /FixMbr writes to the system partition master boot record, compatible with Windows 7. This option will not overwrite any existing partition table. This option should be used to troubleshoot a damaged master boot record, or if you want to remove from the master boot record custom code.
Bootrec.exe /FixBoot
Option /FixBoot writes a new partition boot sector using a boot sector that is compatible with Windows 7. This option should be used when at least one of the following conditions is true:
-Windows 7 boot sector was replaced by non-standard boot sector
-Boot sector is corrupted
-After installing Windows 7 on a computer, you install a newer version of the Windows operating system. In this case, to start the computer instead of the Windows Boot Manager (Bootmgr.exe) uses the Windows NT loader (NTLDR).
Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd
Option /RebuildBcd searches for installed operating systems that are compatible with Windows 7 on all drives. In addition, this option allows you to choose the system that you want to add in the BCD store. Use this option if you want to perform a thorough rebuild boot configuration data.

If you do not remember you the value you can simply type:
Bootrec.exe
and utility displays help for the available command line keys.

In some cases, the new boot screen replaces the old arbitrarily in Vista style. Most often this happens after unsuccessfully made various changes to the boot loader. Propose you simple and effective solutions:

Option 1

Enter C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep.exe. Select OOBE and OK. Do not forget about screen resolution (17″ – 1280*1024)

Option 2

1. Open command prompt as Administrator: start-> run (or Win + R)-> cmd-> Ok
2. open a console window enter the command:
bcdedit /set {current} locale en-US
Note that the above command is for the English version of Windows, so if you use another language version, you must replace “en-US” button on the language ID of the version.
3. close the command prompt window.
4. restart your computer.

Option 3

1) open the run menu: Start-> run (or Win + R)
2) in the open window, type: msconfig and click OK
3) Click on the “Boot” and check to see if the check box next to the value “No GUI Boot”. If this is checked – uncheck it.
4) quit the system configuration.
5) restart the computer

Most of the registry is located at the following locations:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER – in file C:\Users\User_name\NTUSER.dat.
All other sections – C:\Windows\system32\config

If you need to restore any specific part of the registry in Windows 7 or you want to see what values has had some key, some time ago, then you should do the following:

For example, will get access to previous key values HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE

1) open the folder C:\windows\system32 Look for a Config directory.
2) on the Config folder right-click, select Properties, and click the Previous versions.
3) double-click to folder within the chosen date. You will see a list of files on which the previous version is available. In this case we are interested in SOFTWARE, because it stores keys section HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE.
4) copy the file to any convenient for you place by dragging it to open a Windows Explorer window or by selecting Copyfrom the context menu of the file SOFTWARE.
Suppose you put it in the root of drive D:
5) start Registry Editor (Start-> Run->regedit.exe), position the cursor on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE root key, and then click menu File->Load Hive…
6) set the name that will be mounted file D:\SOFTWARE (for example: oldsoftware)
7) access to the key values and registry keys will be possible to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\oldsoftware.
8) mounted a hive is a previous version of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software, where you can see previous values you want the keys.
If the values you put into your registry system, then go to the next step.
