    I have my boot manager and loader in my laptop and it is different than my other 2 desktops also running Win7x64SP1. The only difference is they are mechanical HDD while the laptop is using an SSD.

    Below is what the boot manager/loader looks like on the problem drive:

    C:\>bcdedit /enum -v

    Below is a working Win 7 64bit SP1 that is my desktop computer (not SSD, only 1 HDD) all other stats same except obviously the Windows Boot Manager shows the HDD since no SSD.

    Please, I can't find any article that goes through the full repair or programs that require access to the Windows OS environment, which I don't on the laptop.
