winload.efi error warning on W7 boot up.

[Abarbarian]

After a recent update my W7 pc refused to boot with a "winload.efi" error. Seems that the files signature or the file is corrupted.

I tried using the W7 install disk to repair the fault. I got a command line up and entered,

BOOTREC/FIXMBR
BOOTREC/FIXBOOT

which both suggested they had completed OK

then entered,

BOOTREC/REBUILDBCD

which told me everything was OK but it also told me there were no window os installed.

Can anyone offer any insight to my problem.

check the hard drive with chkdsk from a command prompt

Sorry you're having problems @Abarbarian. I'd try the startup repair tool from the boot DVD/USB and see if that helps:

How to Perform a Startup Repair in Windows 7

A tutorial for completing a Windows 7 Startup Repair. A Startup Repair is a good first troubleshooting step if Windows 7 isn't starting properly.

I'd also try using "sfc /scannow" from the command prompt and see if that fixes it.

Any luck with this @Abarbarian, or still having problems?
