Windows not listed in Recovery Mode on Install Disc

[Retrac1324]

I was using iTunes today and my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit froze. After a while it blue screened.

When I turn it on, it says "Bootmgr image corrupt. The system cannot boot."

I tried using the popular method of inserting the Windows 7 install disc, choosing Repair this system, then selecting my Operating System listed in the recovery console.

My Windows 7 install is not listed as an operating system however. This happens with both the 64 and 32 bit of the Windows 7 Ultimate install disc. If I select the "Load Drivers" button, it shows all my drives and I can browse through a flash drive/disc if it is inserted, but I cannot open my C drive. I am using a normal SATA hard drive and it has showed up in the past.

I burned a copy of Hiren's BootCD and tried to use the MBR utilities on there, but everytime I select a tool from the menu, it prompts yes or no to load each individual driver. No matter what I select, by the end it simply fails.

Sounds like your C drive died....

What brand hd? Use their diagnostics to check your drive and see if it's failing or if it's not visible then failed.

May also want to check connections and a different cable/port.
