How To Fix MBR using Windows Vista/Windows 7 Bootable Disk

The following tutorial will teach you "How to fixmbr using Windows Vista/Windows 7 bootable disk".

Boot up your computer using Microsoft Windows Vista/Win7 Bootable disk. (Check your BIOS setup)
When you see the 1st Windows Vista/Win7 installation screen appear, please configure your 'language' preferences.
When prompted, click 'Repair your computer'.
Startup Repair will automatically detect a problem. When prompted, click 'Repair and restart', and then restart your computer from the Windows Vista/Win7 bootable disk. If Startup Repair does not automatically detect a problem, continue to the next step.
click Repair Your Computer.
Click Command Prompt from the System Recovery Options.
BootRec.exe provides the following command-line options:

/FixMbr: Re-writes the master boot record (MBR) of the system partition to start Windows Vista/Win7. This wont overwrite the existing partition table.
/FixBoot: Writes a boot sector onto the system partition to start Windows Vista/Win7.
/ScanOs: Scans all disks for Windows Vista/Win7 installations and displays them to you. Oddly, this didnt work for me, even on a test system that was starting just fine.
/RebuildBcd: Scans all disks for Windows Vista/Win7 installations and prompts you to pick the ones you want to add to the BCD.
Type  'BootRec.exe /fixmbr' and press Enter.
You're done.
