I had to re-image my OS drive, with Win7 Ultimate, and now I can't get it to boot. I get the lovely "BOOTMGR is missing" etc etc. now this wouldn't be a huge deal normally but I can't access command prompt with my OS installation DVD! i just get an error that states it's the wrong version of the OS and that it's not a compatible DVD. i also noticed that under installed OS it reads "Windows 7 Ultimate (Restored)" or something like that. Is that why...?
So, is there any way i can fix the MBR and boot record without using the DVD/WinRE? I've been looking around for hours but all of what I've found seems to only work on XP and 32-bit. I basically just need to run the:
BootRec.exe /FixMbr
BootRec.exe /FixBoot
...but I can't without being able to use the DVD
