If the windows loader to your Windows Server 2008 machine
gets corrupted or deleted for any reason, it really is a painstaking process to
get it fixed. The boot loader to my machine got deleted somehow while I was
resizing partitions. After scouring the web, I could not find anything on
rebuilding the boot loader for Windows Server 2008.
But every website provides
windows loader. All I could find were instructions to restore a Windows Vista
boot loader but luckily, the process for Server 2008 is similar.
Due to the lack of recapture tools on the Server 2008
installation CD or download version, the boot loader must be rebuilt manually.
For this guide, I'm going to assume your installation has a
drive letter of C:.
Insert the Server 2008 installation CD into your DVD-ROM or
open download file in to download location.
Restart your computer and boot from
the CD.
Choose to repair your computer, then open the command
prompt.
At the command prompt, use the following commands:
c:
cd boot
bootsect /nt60 c: /force /mbr
bootrec /rebuildbcd
After using the "bootrec /rebuldbcd" command, you
will be prompted to accept a Windows installation. Accept the installation,
then wait for the process to finish.
Once it's done, reboot your computer and you should have a
boot loader ready to go.
If you do not have a "boot" folder in the system
C: drive, then copy the "boot" folder form the Windows installation
CD or download folder to the C: drive.
Use the following command which assumes
E: is your DVD-ROM
mkdir c:boot
copy e:boot* c:boot
Then, just use the boot restore commands to rebuild the
bootloader.
