Blue Screen of Death on Startup

Question

I have been using Windows 7 x64 for about 3 months but recently, whenever I boot into Windows 7 it starts the load and gets up to the animation then it BSODs with this error code:
Stop 0x000000ED UNMOUNTABLEBOOTVOLUME
I believe this may be linked to my creation of another NTFS partition on my Hard Drive using Disk Utility because my Windows 7 Partition was getting too small. I have since then deleted the partition and made my partition setup as it was before this error.
Is there a solution to this or do I need to reinstall Windows (which is very inconvenient as my College requires me to be linked to their Domain to access the internet and it costs $200 to get it setup)?

Answer 1

Hi,
a later done partitioning to add additional partitions to a harddisk alters the position of the BootCamp partition in the partition table so that the Windows Bootloader can not 'find' the Windows partition.
With Windows XP it helped to simply edit the Boot.Ini file and point it to the WIndows partition.
With Vista and Windows 7 there no longer is a boot.ini but EasyBCD http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 can do the same.
One thing to remember though is, that even Vista and Windows 7 'suffer' from the limitation of four partitions on one harddisk immenent to the Master Boot Record (MBR) since Apple EFI/GPT/MBR emulation can not handle Extended Partitions and Logical Partitions inside an Extended Partition.
