1. Boot from your Windows Vista/7/Server2008/R2/2012 media and choose the “Repair Windows” option.
2. Open the command prompt.
3. Using diskpart, mark your Windows partition as bootable.
4. If your windows partition does not have it, copy the “boot” folder from the installation media.
5. Run the following commands:
>c:
>cd boot
>attrib bcd -s -h -r
>ren c:bootbcd bcd.old
>bootrec /RebuildBcd
Reboot and Windows should boot normally. If not, return to the command prompt and run:
>bootrec /FixMBR
>bootrec /FixBoot
