Welcome
Your questions is not really clear, but if you cant boot and get a notice about BCD, this may be your solution

Will the easy BCD even work on computers that cant get to windows screen?
The only way I can get to the safe mode and the stuff that comes up when you press f-8
Is by using the disk I bought when I bought my computer,but Safe mode or system restore doesn't work it freezes up half way through the process.
when I try safe mode a list starts to run but freezes up on
\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\disk.sys is were it stops at every time
when I try system restore it just goes blank screen and nothing.If you need more information ask ,and i will try to explain. I have no clue how to work on computers.

I hoping that the BCD will work.

I dont think I can use that but I downloaded it anyway might need for later
I cant even get into windows screen to use it
But it gave me a link to try on the site you sent me to it is
Recovering the Windows Bootloader from the DVD - EasyBCD - NeoSmart Technologies Wiki but for some reason I cant even use my disk to reboot it it act like it wont even read the disk
I got 3 disk all of which I bought with my system
Disk 1 of 1
Disks 1 of 2 and 2 of 2
when i use disk 1 of 1 it brings me to a screen To reboot system restore and all the stuff you get when you press f-8, but it freezes or screen goes blank if I try them.
The only thing that happens if i use no disk is.
I power it up it comes to a screen that has Gateway and 2 options to press F-2 BIOS or f-10 boot menu then after that screen goes away I get the error.
If i use disk 1 of 1 and restart the computer it does the Gateway thing then it goes to
(Windows is loading Files) it loads all way up ,then its got loading screen with a little box with green bar going across for like 10 seconds after that it just goes blank nothing else happens.
When I use disk 1 of 2 or 2 of 2 it does nothing but takes me to error screen even if i boot from dvd/cd rom

IF this works you will lose your stuff and you have to install SPs, updates etc.
Boot the computer and during boot quickly and many times hit f11

 

[InTrouble]

I tried it but no luck I will keep trying though(I might be to slow )
I dont mind about losing the stuff on it just wish it would work again

 

[richc46]

Try it again. If it does not work, some say this works, others say no.
You will need a valid product keynumber however.

[InTrouble]

When i go to click on the download links it says Denied on all 3 something i am doing wrong?

 

[richc46]

Those links are rather old, guess they are no longer active. Im trying everything that I know but running out of options.
If you know someone that has a Vista cd, you can borrow and validate with your product key.

 

[InTrouble]

Well I have the cds I bought the day I bought my computer,but they seems to not work Ill try and find someone that has set to see if it is my disk

 

[richc46]

Set your computer to boot from the Cd

The way mine is
1st boot device is set [cd/dvd 4m atapi dv]
2nd boot device [SATA:3m-wdc wd6400]
3rd boot device [usb:IOI icro drive]
4th boot device [Network:B02 D00 Yu]

That is very close to what mine looks like
I am trying to find more pictures of what else i see

 

[richc46]

its set correctly

 

[InTrouble]

Yeah I have 2 of the exact same computers both 9100e and I compard bios and all was same
I did find another HD which is a xp and put it in and it works fine now
You think my hd is shot ?

 

[richc46]

Thats a very good possiblity with no way to test in this situation.
