Background information:
I had to RMA my Radeon 6870 to get a fan replaced however the manufacturer apparently found other problems. They didn't have any 6870's in stock to swap with the one I RMA'd, so they sent me a Radeon 7870 GHz edition.
The problem I have now is that I forgot to boot into safe mode after installing the card to uninstall the old cards drivers and now Windows won't boot.
I've tried:
Using the Win 7 disc to Repair Startup
Using the Win 7 to initiate a system restore but it can't see my restore point
Using BootRec.exe + /fixmbr + /fixboot + /rebuildbcd
/fixmbr and /fixboot were successful but didn't solve the problem. When I ran /rebuildbcd it reported "total windows installations: 0"
I was trying to see if I could use the "Load Drivers" option in the System Recovery tool on the Windows 7 disc but it won't load the catalyst.exe I downloaded from the AMD website so I was trying to find a catalyst .msi or batch file to try and came up with nothing on google.
Looking for options other than reformatting, thanks in advance.
