EFI GPT Windows 7 boot-loader/manager issue and grub

Question

My computer(asus N76VM 64 bit) with windows 7 (64 bit home professional) pre-installed got in a bad state while partitioning from a later installed Ubuntu environment. This had lead me to run testdisk and copy every seperate partition onto a backup HDD.
I managed to get it al back onto the original hard drive in a state that resembles the state before things went bad.

****I was able to boot into both operating systems before all the hassle started!****

Since "repairing" the HDD the computer still doesn't want to start windows 7. It's got Grub 1.99 installed and (hoping this would help me) rEFInd but they both don't work. I must note that Grub does display entries for both Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Ubuntu starts like it should, but when I choose for Windows the screen tells me: Invalid EFI filepath.

Another step I tried was running a Windows 7 repair cd, enter command prompt, reassign drive letters (they were C:\ for [OS] and D:\ for [DATA]) so they fitted the original state and then the following commands:
Bootrec.exe /FixMbr
Bootrec.exe /FixBoot
Bootrec.exe /ScanOs
Bootrec.exe /RebuildBcd
Rebooted
But they did not help, so I tried the following:
bootsect /nt60 c: /force /mbr
bcdboot c:\windows /s c:
Again, no sigar. So I started looking further and ran into this website which gave advice I am a bit concerned about trying, for I don't know the possible outcomes and I don't want to be loosing anything all over again.

Running boot info script gives me the following output (the order of the partitions might seem weird, I know that, but I don't think it is of any concern:

Boot flag removed from the EXT4 partition. Now the next step is to get the windows partition that needs to be booted at C:\ instead of the EXT4 partition. I tried a couple of times with 'diskpart' on a windows live cd recovery environment within 'cmd'. However, at each reboot the drive letters get reassigned.

My setup from before everything went haywire

Edit:

Replaced the bootmgfw.efi file with a copy from the original OS partition. Now when booting windows 7 from rEFInd I get the following screen:

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:  

1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.  
2. Choose your language settings, and click "Next."  
3. Click "Repair your computer."  

If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

I found on the site of Microsoft a Windows 8.1 trial iso. Downloaded it, installed in virtual machine 64-bit. Copied the iso to the virtual disk and used some instructions I found for making the USB recognized on the VM. Then with other instructions I found the way of making it EUFI boot able and it worked.

Now I'm waiting for the repair to be done. It's taking half an hour now and I don't know when it will be done. For the sake of reference I will be adding the sources of the information when/if this operation will be done

Answer 1

You need to understand the differences between BIOS-mode (aka CSM or legacy-mode) booting and EFI-mode (aka UEFI-mode) booting. Windows ties these boot modes quite closely to the partition table type: Windows will boot in BIOS mode if and only if the disk uses the older Master Boot Record (MBR) partition table type, and in EFI mode if and only if the disk uses the newer GUID Partition Table (GPT) partition table type. Your question title implies you're using GPT, but it's not clear that your computer originally used GPT. (Most Windows 7 systems used BIOS and MBR, although some Windows 7 systems sold in late 2011 and later used EFI and GPT.) If your original installation used BIOS/MBR, you'll need to install an EFI-mode Windows boot loader. This process is described here.

If your computer originally used EFI/GPT, you may also need to re-install the boot loader; or it could be that you've overlooked some critical detail, such as a proper re-creation of the EFI System Partition (ESP), which holds EFI boot loaders.

If you need more help, try running the Boot Info Script in Linux. This will produce a file called RESULTS.txt. Post it to a pastebin site and post the URL for the file here. That will give us more precise and detailed information about your current configuration, which may help in fixing it.

EDIT:

Your Boot Info Script output indicates that you don't have a Windows boot loader installed on your computer. You'll have to fix that to get Windows booting. In particular, because the disk uses GPT, you must install an EFI boot loader for Windows. Most pages that describe Windows boot repair assume a BIOS-based system, and so will be 100% useless to you. This page describes how to convert Windows from a BIOS-mode boot to EFI-mode boot, so something along those lines might work. There may be other pages that will help, too; or you can post on a Windows forum for help.

One more point, which you might want to deal with before trying to install a Windows boot loader: Your /dev/sda2 uses an ext4 filesystem, but is marked as being an EFI System Partition (ESP). This is incorrect and could cause problems down the line, so you should fix it. There are a number of ways to do this, depending on what partitioning software you use. For instance, in gdisk, you should change the type code from EF00 to 8300 by using the t option, then write the changes via the w option. In parted or GParted, you'd remove the "boot flag" (and in GParted apply the changes).

Answer 2

try grabbing a GPARTED liveCD and setting your windows partition to have the 'boot' flag. this will probably supersede your GRUB installation but at least you'll have a point to work from.

Answer 3

First, please follow Rod Smith instructions on changing the type of the EXT4 partition to not be an ESP, if you have not already done so.

Next, I suggest that you rewrite your protective MBR with one from gdisk. Bootmgr does not seem to like changes to the disk signature made by grub to the MBR.

Essentially, run gdisk /dev/sda, then:

• x
• n; confirm... this will not affect any EFI bootloaders.
• w

If this doesn't work...

Also, booting into the Windows install disc will indeed reassign letters each time. No need to worry. Internally, each drive and partition is identified by a unique GUID (on top of the GPT GUIDs, usual Microsoft style to maintain consistency with MBR systems).

Let's regenerate an appropriate BCD

• Use diskpart to identify the drive letters assigned to the EFI System Partition(/dev/sda1 : call it S:) and the Windows Boot partition (/dev/sda3 : call it C:)
• If the ESP does not have a drive letter, assign one using mountvol s: /s
• bcdboot C:\windows /s S: /f ALL

Answer 4

If disk style is GPT then Windows 7 (only 64-bit version) can boot only using UEFI boot.

To repair Windows 7 booting:

1) using some disk management tool ensure you have a EFI System partition (usual size is 100 MB in FAT32 format) and a Microsoft Reserved (128 MB) partition.

EFI System partition is where boot files are placed. You can use "diskpart" on recovery console to check partitions:

C:\Windows\system32>diskpart

Microsoft DiskPart version 6.1.7601
Copyright (C) 1999-2008 Microsoft Corporation.
On computer: MTNB

DISKPART> sel disk 0

Disk 0 is now the selected disk.

DISKPART> list vol

  Volume ###  Ltr  Label        Fs     Type        Size     Status     Info
  ----------  ---  -----------  -----  ----------  -------  ---------  --------
  Volume 0     I                       DVD-ROM         0 B  No Media
  Volume 1     D   TEMP         NTFS   Partition     50 GB  Healthy
  Volume 2                      RAW    Partition     18 GB  Healthy
  Volume 3     E   DATA         NTFS   Partition    100 GB  Healthy
  Volume 4     F   W8           NTFS   Partition     80 GB  Healthy
  Volume 5     C   W7           NTFS   Partition     80 GB  Healthy    Boot
  Volume 6     G   VHD          NTFS   Partition     60 GB  Healthy
  Volume 7     H   W81          NTFS   Partition     60 GB  Healthy
  Volume 8     J   W81_src      NTFS   Partition   5368 MB  Healthy
  Volume 9     R   Recovery     NTFS   Partition    300 MB  Healthy    Hidden
  Volume 10        EFI SYSTEM   FAT32  Partition    100 MB  Healthy    System

You must ensure also there is a 128 MB Microsoft Reserved Partition on disk !

DISKPART> lis par

  Partition ###  Type              Size     Offset
  -------------  ----------------  -------  -------
  Partition 1    Recovery           300 MB  1024 KB
  Partition 2    System             100 MB   301 MB
  Partition 3    Reserved           128 MB   401 MB
  Partition 4    Primary             50 GB   529 MB
  Partition 5    Primary             18 GB    60 GB
  Partition 6    Unknown           2048 MB    78 GB
  Partition 7    Primary            100 GB    80 GB
  Partition 8    Primary             80 GB   180 GB
  Partition 9    Primary             80 GB   260 GB
  Partition 10   Primary             60 GB   340 GB
  Partition 11   Primary             60 GB   400 GB
  Partition 12   Primary           5368 MB   460 GB

Here Partition 3 is Microsoft Reserved partition.

If you don't have a Recovery partition in the beginning of disk EFI System partition should be first, followed by 128 MB Microsoft Reserved partition.

2) mountvol s: /s (mounts EFI System partition to drive letter s:)

3) Using bcdboot from recovery CD/USB:

bcdboot Y:\windows /s s: where Y: is Windows 7 drive.

There are NO BOOT SECTORS involved during EFI boot (no MBR, no PBR/VBR) but you could rewrite MBR using "bootsect":

bootsect /nt60 ALL /force /mbr

Link to Microsoft where you can see how to use diskpart for creating UEFI partitions.

Hope this helps.
