So I am basically at my wits end. The problem for me started from yesterday and I was too depressed to even come here and ask all of you guys for help. I spent the whole day scouring the net and trying the solution to my answer and I kind of worsened the situation maybe - I don't know.
So as to be precise - let's start from the beginning.
1. (Day of The Problem) - I woke up at 5.45am in the morning, started my computer and as usual I selected Windows 7 (I am saying selected because my computer has triple booting - with Windows XP, Windows 7 & Windows 8 all on different partitions). So after it started I spent some time doing my work. And than I felt a bit sleepy around 6am So I went back to sleep but what I did before going to sleep started the mother of all problems for me. I set the computer to sleep and I myself went to sleep. I woke up around 7.20 am and the first thing after doing my daily activities, I went on to start the computer - Instead of getting the User log in option which I usually get when I set my computer to sleep - My computer booted from the beginning and I was like
so just after the BIOS screen flashed my computer restarted and it went on a never ending loop of restart. I shut it down manually and I had no idea what to do.
2. (15 Mins. after the problem started) - I put my windows xp disk and ran the recovery console and I did fixboot in the recovery console after which I was saw Invalid Boot.ini (booting from C:/Windows) so I was able to boot into my Windows XP and for test I restarted the computer again - This time however there was no message of Invalid boot.ini and it only said Booting from C:/Windows and my Windows XP loaded without a problem. At this point I realized since I did fixboot using the Windows XP Recovery console, I am able to boot into Windows XP but I am not seeing the option to boot into Windows 7 or Windows 8. Now my Main problem started - I do all my important work in Windows 7 and I need access to that - Windows 8 is not important for me but Windows 7 is the main OS I need for my daily activities.
So at this point what must I do - I have a Windows 7 System Repair USB, should I use that to load into Windows 7 Recovery Console and use the command prompt to do 'bootrec /fixboot' or should I use 'bootsec /nt60 all' from Windows XP.? I don't know what to, Someone please help me in details.
