Hello,

I am working on a relative computer. Its a Toshiba laptop. About a year old. I was given the laptop in this condition. Turn it on and right after the bios screen pops up it /boot/bcd errors out.

Tells you to put in the windows 7 CD and repair the boot. But after 10-15 diffrent attempts at fixing the boot and nothing working. I formated the HD and was just going to do a fresh install.

So I put in my windows 7 Home premium CD in and started the install. It goes thru everything till the first restart and after the first restart it crashes to the /boot/bcd error. So I can not get it to restart and load off the HD without errorings out.

Seems like a HD issue to me. But ive looked at 100's of google suggestions and not once has anyone ever said this could be a bad HD. But it seems to me the BCD gets currupted after every restart.

If anyone has some advise on how to fix this issue that would be great.
