So, quite some time ago, I installed ReadyDriver(or ReadyDriver Plus? Whatever it is) so I could run a few unofficial drivers on my Windows 7 64-bit computer. This meant that whenever I started my computer, it gave me the option to choose between Windows 7 and Ready Driver, which it usually automatically picked the latter before then picking Windows 7.

So, I got tired of this and had no use for these drivers anymore, and got EasyBCD. I removed the Ready Driver entry, and then picked "Skip the boot menu" thinking that it would otherwise just sit on a menu with Windows 7 and nothing else. Then I went and worked on other stuff, PC started slowing down due to other things, I decided to restart, and I was met with this.




More accurately, I get my computer's LENOVO logo and the "Press Enter to BIOS" thing, followed by this. No selection options and no Windows 7 logo at all.

I currently can not find a Windows 7 recovery disk, if my PC even had one. My mom's Windows 7 upgrade disk does nothing far as I can tell. I've tried setting the BIOS settings to default. I've tried using a Super GRUB Disk to restore the MBR. I've tried some kind of thing on an Ubuntu running off the disk to repair the "Bootmgr". None of this seems to work at all.

Anyone here at least skilled enough to point me somewhere to ask this question, or perhaps have an actual idea what I can do to fix this?

If you have access to another windows system, this might be of help.

Maybe, if the rescue disk option doesn't work (0.1% probability) you could try Hiren's Boot CD. I personally use the Restored Proteus "edition" which includes some extra utilities.

In either versions, there are some tools under Mini XP/DOS that can change/repair/edit the Boot sector. You might give a try to it, although some tools there are quite complex.

I managed to make a working rescue disk off of my dad's 64-bit Windows 7, somehow I didn't think to try that before. I think I was convinced it'd still be linked to his PC or that he didn't have 64-bit or such. Either way, it worked, though I still need to go and get rid of that Ready Driver entry the right way sometime.

In case EasyBCD fails again, you could just try to use MSConfig to delete the entry, so you're sure not to cause any more problems like this one.
