Replacing GRUB2 with Windows boot loader

I'm trying to replace GRUB2 with Windows' standard boot loader (bootmgr?), but I can't get it to work.

My Windows 7 install is in a single NTFS partition, which is marked as active (boot flag is set).

First, I tried the automatic repair with the install disk, but it didn't detect any problems. Then I ran bootrec /fixmbr and bootrec /fixboot, but all I got was a black screen at boot with a blinking cursor.

After that I created a boot partition for GRUB2, I figured, at least I can use it to chainload, but it give me a "disk reading error". If I used GRUB's ntldr loader, than I got error 0xc0000225 (some sort of BCD error). I tried to rebuild the BCD from the rescue environment, and it was successful, but the error didn't go away.

Update: I've tried to rebuild the BCD, but nothing changed...

Update 2: I reinstalled my system, as I found no other way.

You need to fix three items:

• MBR
• Boot sector
• Boot Configuration Data store (BCD)

Try option 2 from this page:

rem fix MBR
bootrec.exe /fixmbr

rem fix boot sector
bootsect.exe /nt60 all /force

rem fix BCD
attrib -h -s C:\boot\BCD
del C:\boot\BCD
bootrec.exe /rebuildbcd

As mentioned there, replace C: with your actual boot drive letter if necessary.
