Boot file for Windows 7 missing after windows 10 installation.

Hello,
Recently for the purpose of evaluation, i installed Windows 10 enterprise technical preview on a VHD mounted on a machine running Windows 7 64bit ultimate. Installation process went well but since then I cannot log onto windows 7 itself.
Machine loads directly to windows 10 without giving any option to choose the OS. When I checked the system configurations there is only one boot file displayed - windows technical preview - there is no sign of windows 7 boot file.
Wondering if anyone else experience any such issues.
If yes then how to solve this issue.
Thanks

Hi Mansoor Moin,
Can you give us more information about your situation?
Based on my understanding, you create a Native Boot to VHD on Windows 7 machine, right?
If so, this would be a mistake on deleting boot entry.
I would like to know if you can get the Windows 7 system partition in current disk management. If so, we can use following command to add a boot entry.
bcdboot F:\windows
F: represents the Windows 7 Operating system letter.

If you want to make an installer file for windows, i think below link is suitable for your requirement. I never tried this approach of creating the installer file of java applications. But while reading the description of it, i thought that it may suits to your requirement.

Steve,
I appreciate your answer. While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change. Yes, it might work. The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro? Any issues with anyone else?
Thanks Steve. I do appreciate your offering a solution. I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.

Windows 8.1 won't boot after VS 2013 express for windows (metro) installation

I have purchased HP Pavilion e115sm with AMD A-10 processor and 12GB of RAM notebook, installed windows 8.1 on it, i updated windows with "windows update" and installed all drivers needed. After that, i have tried to install VS 2013 express
for windows (metro). VS installation asked to restart windows after, so that some updates or whatever can be installed.
After restart, i just got windows logo with dots rotating and got stuck on that for several hours.
I turned it of after several hours, delete all partitions on disk, recreated them again and reinstalled windows with all updates. I tried to install VS again, but got same "logo screen" with rotating dots again for several hours...
Can someone help me with this?

Hi,
Would you please first check if the system can startup into Safe mode?
Then, please try the startup repair in Advanced menu after you boot your computer via installation media.

Then, if the issue still persists, try to boot PC in WinRE, and enter command prompt to run following commands:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd

Mac Pro/Boot Camp - inf files for Windows XP & Apple 23¨ cinema displays

have a Mac pro with the ATI video card. I have installed Boot Camp 1.1 and can boot to win XP or Mac ok when I use a dell monitor for win xp. If I use the apple displays, the screen often doesn't turn on at all - just black screen though it has booted to win XP as I can type in my password and hear it log in. If I boot to Mac and then change to Win, it sometimes displays Win XP OK. However, when it does do that, it dosn't recognise the Apple Display - rather it is a plug and play monitor with lousy resolution. Are there .inf files for the Apple Displays to work properly on XP?

Problems with creating a USB boot device for Windows 8.1

My iMac (late 2012) running OSX Mavericks is encountering problems creating a Windows 8.1 install disk via a USB thumbdrive. The drive has 8gb of space available, which is enough to fit windows. But when I choose my ISO image and select the drive I recieve an error message. The error is 'Bootcamp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use a ISO file for 64-bit Windows installation.
I'm certain this ISO definately contains 64-bit, so I'm slightly confused.
I've followed instructions found in other discussions talking about adding an extra line of information to 'info.plist' found inside the Package Contents for bootcamp, but that has also not worked. If I try that, Bootcamp crashes upon being clicked every time.
Any help is appreciated

First up: a question. How did you fix the crashing Bootcamp Utility? It would help out this guy: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23523783?ac_cid=tw123456#23523783
Next up: A possible solution (also posted here:https://discussions.apple.com/message/23523783?ac_cid=tw123456#23523783)
=====================
It's possible you have a Windows ISO for both 32- and 64-bit. In this case it's probably detecting the presence of the 32-bit installer and forgets to look for another 64-bit version.
A way to work around this is to not use the Bootcamp Assistant utility by following the listed steps:
The way installing Windows should work either way using the Legacy BIOS mode:
- Get a Windows ISO or DVD and copy the contents over to a freshly fat32 formatted USB stick of at least 4GB.
- Download the Apple Bootcamp Support Software (4.x or 5.x, 5.x only supports 64-bit, get that if you are going 64-bit);
- Copy the content of the Support Software folder over the the same USB stick from the first step. It should fit just right (it did on my 4GB stick with 2MB te spare!);
- Use disk utility to partition your disk. Make sure the partition for Windows is Fat32 and at least 30GB;
- Reboot your machine while holding Option/Alt at the chime;
- You should be able to select either your OSX HDD or your USB stick labeled "Windows" -> Select Windows and press enter or click the arrow;
- The Windows installer should now load, format the previously made Windows partition to NTFS;
- Continue on your way.
Can you try what I typed above? If it doesn't work, can you let me know at what step things go differently than described?
Edit: This is based on the logical conclusion that any Mac that was shipped without ODD should be able to boot from USB.
Edit2:
One other note is that Mac's have trouble booting from USB when multiple USB storage devices are attached. So make sure you connect only one storage device.
=====================
Best of luck to you!

Boot Camp for Windows 7 64 bit on 21.5" late 2009 iMac

I've read much about installing Windows 7 64 bit on my 21.5" late 2009 iMacs -
- nevertheless there is some lack of clarity about how to do it right.
First I read "http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup10.6.pdf".
That's all well and good, but nowhere in this document is that "USB storage device trick"
(see "http://support.apple.com/kb/DL995") mentioned! On the other hand, in that DL995
description there's nowhere mentioned that there are additional steps to do afterwards!
OK - first I prepared my USB storage device according to DL995, made a 201GB partition,
inserted the 64 bit Windows 7 DVD and ran the installation without any problems.
Windows works, but brightness and volume controls for example don't work.
(When I press F1 I get Windows help etc.)
I can't find Boot Camp installed under Windows anywhere!
After the same installation on my second 21.5" iMac everything looks identical
with the exception that under "Bluetooth Devices" on one machine there's
"Apple Wireless Keyboard" and "Apple Wireless Mouse" installed - on the other
machine NOT, even tough I've NEVER used Bluetooth devices any of both
machines (just used wired Apple keyboard and USB Trackball).
How can this be? What's wrong?
Before I continue (OS X disc, 3.1 update... if required at all?),
how can I verify that the USB storage device had been used at all?/
How would it look if it wouldn't have been used?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your reply.
You inserted and ran Apple setup off your OS X DVD once W7 was updated and running?
That adds a bunch of devices and services, OSSwitcher, TimeServices, the Boot Camp
control panel, and would show Boot Camp version 3.0 in Programs control panel.
Yes, I know, but I haven't installed it yet. First I want to make sure that the first
step of the installation (DL995) worked well. on both Macs. Do you know how this
could be verified? What should have been installed from the USB device?
It puzzles me that on my 2nd iMac under "Bluetooth Devices"
"Apple Wireless Keyboard" and "Apple Wireless Mouse"haven't been installed.
Maybe this is a clue, that on that iMac the USB device had been ignored
during windows installation? Or could that have another reason?
This is my problem at the moment.
