How to repair/Fix the MBR in Windows 7 or Windows 8?

 

Then you can just follow the steps given below!

 

Step 1)

First of all, you will require a BOOTABLE DISC OR PEN DRIVE. It’s recommended that you isolate other storage devices like pen drive or external HDD from your computer and leave only the SSD/HDD.

 

Step 2)

Insert your DVD/pen drive and booting into the Windows 8 setup, choose

 “Repair your computer” in the below part of the window,

 

 

 Step 3)

Then select “Troubleshoot” and “Advanced options”. If you have a restore point created you can go back to that working copy of the OS .This is another Windows 8 feature.

 

Step 4)

Choose “automatic repair”. It can find and fix your booting problem but sometimes it fails!


.

Step 5)
If so,Go back to the “Advanced options” and selelct “Command Prompt”.

Then execute these commands in the cmd.exe

bootrec /fixmbr            -------If you have Damaged MBR.


bootrec /fixboot             -------If you’r MBR is having problem or Missing.

 

bootrec /rebuildbcd      -------If you’re MBR is Compressed or unable to repair


bootrec /scanos         -------If you want to scan the operating system

cmd

 

Step 6)After receiving a success confirmation as

Successfully scanned Windows installations.

Total identified Windows installations: 0

The operation completed successfully.

Close the cmd and reboot your PC.

Step 7)If Windows does not boot ,then try the following in cmd  

Enter the “bcdedit”.

Step 8) The lists of items will appear under Windows Boot Manager and under Windows Boot Loader. Search for the following items:

  • Under Windows Boot Manager, the Device item should be set to unknown.
  • Under Windows Boot Loader, the Device and OS device items should be set to unknown.

Run the following commands

bcdedit /set {default} device partition=c:
bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=c:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device partition=c:

Step 9) if that also fails then  try browse to the folder

X:SourcesRecovery and then enter “StartRep.exe” which executes another automated startup repair utility.
