Error code Ox490 and two boot loaders
I believe this problem started after a partition screw-up whcih caused this Seagate 1TB drive with Win 7 professional not to clean boot.
OS version 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1 The last error message was system config changes error code Ox490. After using "repair the computer"
without success, going back to an ealier restore point, nothing has worked. I now have two boot loaders and obviously in conflict.
How can I edit these so I can reboot cleanly.
At the command prompt when enteredC:\>BCDEDIT
I got the following results:
