Autorepairs diagnose the problem as a problem with the partition table, bcdedit /rebuildbcd element not found but is unable to automatically fix it Ive gone into diskpart and confirmed that the partition was active. I reset the MBR thought bootrec, bootsect.exe /nt60 all /force Success on all three windows partitions manually creating windows 7 fixmbr element not found the BCD initially works. I can create the store, but when i run bcdedit /import i get an error saying the store does not exist. I am desperately trying to avoid an os reinstall. I havent made any changes in the past few weeks so I dont know what could have caused this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Or... I booted it up getting the error "Bootmgr missing press ctrl alt delete". I went into recovery again and it found my windows 7 installation and it fixed all of the errors, and it started up fine. So the steps I took to fix it was: 1: Boot into gparted 2: Right click on partition with windows 3: Flag as boot 4: Run windows recovery to fix any other errors (using startup repair, and sometimes when it scans for OS's it repairs automatically) 0 Message Author Comment by:scarnson2012-09-13 No, I saw these online as well.

on a Windows 7 host, however, so in order to run it, I installed Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 side-by-side, and used it in the latter. All that has changed in the era of Windows 8, however, and you can run a Hyper-V Server on the client https://peter.upfold.org.uk/blog/2013/02/28/restore-windows-8-bootloader/ version of Windows 8, if it is Windows 8 Pro. Hooray! So, to cut a long story short, post-upgrade, I felt I didn't really need my separate Windows Server 2008 R2 partition for Hyper-V, so I deleted it and expanded the Windows 8 partition to fill the space. Only to find that Windows now wouldn't boot. Oops. I originally installed Windows 7 first, followed by Windows Server 2008 R2, following best practice to install newer operating systems after earlier ones. What had happened now, element not though, was that I had just wiped out the bootloader that was sitting happily on the Windows Server 2008 R2 partition. Fixing the Bootloader: First Steps Startup Repair The first port of call when you have a broken Windows bootloader is Microsoft's own Startup Repair tool on the Windows disc, or in your Recovery Environment. This tool is generally completely useless in situations where Windows will not boot because the hard drive has failed, but in this situation, where we genuinely have a missing element not found boot loader, it is often the only thing you need to do to get everything running again. Unfortunately, it didn't work in my case. More investigation, or perhaps more advanced tools, were needed. Bootrec.exe Choosing to enter the Command Prompt instead of the Automatic Repair option grants you more power -- if you know how to use the command line tools for dealing with broken bootloaders. In my scenario, it was possible that the bootloader on the Master Boot Record of the disk was missing after the change in partition layout, so this was the first command I used. BootRec.exe /FixMbr This operation completed without issue, but it didn't solve my issue -- Windows still would not get to a bootloader. Since my Windows Server 2008 R2 partition likely had the BOOTMGR code on it, perhaps it wasn't the MBR that needed to be fixed. BootRec.exe /FixBoot Upon running this command, I saw an Element not found error, suggesting that there were no Windows installs at all! This obviously was not correct, however -- the partition could be mounted and everything was still there. Bootsect.exe and Setting the Active Partition As it turned out, in my case, not only did the boot code require reinstallation, but I had to set the ‘active' flag on the new C: drive, or it won't get invoked at all! This is in contrast to what I'm more familiar with, where the GRUB bootloader will kick a Linux system into action regardless of whether any partitions
