Hi,

If it happens again, try this.

Boot to System Recovery Options ( http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/139940-tutorial-index-post738335.html#post738335 ), select Command Prompt, type the following (assuming C is the default drive )

C:

cd boot

dir

( if the BCD file is missing, type the following command)

Bootrec /rebuildbcd

Press Enter after each command, of course.

Hope it helps
