Thank you! I have been stuck in the Windows 7 http://superuser.com/questions/892275/error-opening-bcd-registry-windows-7 update "failure to configure/reverting changes" loop for several weeks now. Finally, I discovered that the problem is related to the Windows bootloader. Formerly, my laptop had Windows 7 Ultimate and Linux (divided partition). I have since deleted Linux and reformatted that partition for other use. However, it appears that Linux is still the default boot. I have downloaded the EasyBCD tool to change it back to Windows 7, but I get the following error message: "Error Opening BCD Registry The boot configuration data store could not be opened. The system cannot find the file specified. Would you like to manually load a BCD registry for EasyBCD to manage? Please note that EasyBCD requires the Windows Vista/7 bootloader, and will not work in XP-only environments." I have no clue which/where/what registry I should manually load. My goal here is to be able to install Windows updates without getting caught in that frustrating loop AND to be able to backup, which I haven't been able to do since Linux was deleted. I have attached

The computer has one hard drive (1 TB SSD), which contained the following partitions: 2GB = system partition, (no letter assigned) the rest = C:, boot Windows 7 partition To install Ubuntu alongside with my Windows 7, I was basically following the instructions that I found here: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/05/17/how-to-dual-boot-ubuntu-12-04-and-windows-7/ I successfully shrunk the C: partition by ~450GB. Then, in the beginning of the Ubuntu installation process, (using a DVD image disk), I created 4 new partitions for the linux system (/boot, /, /home, and swap space). Then I told the installer program to put the boot loader to /dev/sda5 (/boot partition), since I planned to use Windows loader to control the dual booting. The rest of the installation seemed to have worked fine, I re-started the computer and got back to my Windows 7 system (which was expected, as I still had to set up the dual boot from Windows.) However, that's where I have a problem. According to the above-mentioned instructions, I should be able to use EasyBCD to set up
