Access Denied For Administrator

Source
The Problem
You receive a Windows 7 access denied error when accessing a folder through Windows Explorer even though you have set the permissions correctly. You are an administrator and the administrators groups have full control over the folder but you can’t access it without Windows re-writing the permissions.
The cause of this is because of a new feature in Windows 7 called User Access Control (UAC). It is the combination of UAC and a bug in Windows Explorer that causes the access denied error.
The easiest solution is to simply disable UAC. If this is not possible (for security reasons) then read on for alternatives.
What is UAC?
In  a nutshell UAC is an extra layer of security on top of Windows 7. When you log in as an administrator normally you would have full unrestricted access to everything. UAC aims to prevent this by running all tasks that don’t require administrator access in a more restrictive manner. When UAC is enabled an administrator as two access tokens; a standard user token (restricted) and an administrator token (unrestricted). All tasks first run under the restricted user token. Only when a specific program or tasks requires full administrative rights does it then prompt you to run it in an elevated mode. It then launches this task using the administrator token. For the scope of this article this all you need to know. To see the full benefit of UAC on Windows 7 follow the link listed above.
How Windows 7 Uses UAC
In Windows 7 some programs will automatically prompt you to run it in an administrative context when you run them. These programs are typically ones that serve only one purpose which require administrator rights in order to run; examples of these are any of the administrative tools that ship with Windows 7. Other programs like the command prompt don’t always need to be run in the administrative context. Simply using the DIR command and browsing folder structures can be done as a normal user, it does not require you to be an administrator. So, although you are logged in as an administrator it will run it under you standard user context. If however you type something like IPconfig /renew it will error saying access denied. At this point you need to close the CMD prompt and find it again in the start menu but this time right click and choose “Run as administrator”. This will now launch the program using the administrator token where IPconfig /renew will now work.
Why You Get Windows 7 Access Denied On Folders
Something I found that isn’t well documented regarding UAC is how it treats folder permissions. If you try to access a folder where the built in administrators GROUP has access to it UAC expects you to access it using your administrative token. Say you are a member of a group called Managers and this has access to a specific folder. When accessing this folder it works as expected; you gain access. If however you are not a member of this group but a member of the built in Administrators group which also has access to the folder you still get an access denied. This is not as expected, you should still gain access. With UAC enabled, to access this folder you need to run Windows Explorer under your administrator context by manually launching Windows Explorer from the start menu, right clicking it and choose “Run as Administrator”. This SHOULD WORK but unfortunately doesn’t due to the bug mentioned at the beginning of this article resulting in an access denied message.
It is important to note that this ONLY affects the Administrators group. As already mentioned for example if I create a new group called “staff” and added this group to the NTFS permissions of the folder I would be able to access this fine without having to elevate the program as long as I am a member of this group. This is ONE of the workarounds to this problem; for all folders you need access to create a new group and use this to assign permissions instead of the administrators group. This will allow you to access the folders without running Windows Explorer in the administrative context.
Windows Explorer Doesn’t Work With UAC
Yes you heard that right. I had to do a lot of research to find this out. This affects Vista, 2008 and Windows 7. Of course MS haven’t officially acknowledged this but you can prove this yourself by doing the following:

• Log in as an administrator and set permissions on a folder so that ONLY the Administrators group has access to it.
• Open two command prompts; one as normal and the other under the administrative context.
• Now try to DIR to this folder in both command prompts and read the contents. You will find that the CMD window running under the administrator context is the only one that can access the folder. This is behaving correctly as explained above.
• Now open MS Word, Excel, whatever in the administrative context. Save a file in this folder. This proves Word is running in elevated mode – The point of this step is to illustrate that ANY program (not just CMD) can access a folder where only Administrators have access to if you run it under your administrator context. Close Word.
• Now open Word in standard context (no admin) and try to open the file. You get an access denied. Again behaving exactly as it should.
• Now open two Windows Explorers; one as normal and the other under the administrator context.
• Try accessing the folder and BOTH OF THEM will fail. This proves Windows Explorer (reasons beyond me) does not run under the administrator context.

A bug?? I think so! So how do we access the folder under Windows Explorer? You can’t, well at least in this context. MS seriously screwed up here in my opinion. A lot of folders only allow the Administrators group access but you will also gets an access denied error without tweaks if UAC is enabled!
How Do We Prevent Access Denied On the Folder?
In Windows 7, access denied errors on folders can be eliminated using a a few methods. The easiest one as mentioned at the start of this article is to turn UAC off. Folder access will then behave exactly like XP. If this is not possible what I found works is to create a new group in Active Directory and call it something like “All-Folders-Access”. Add your administrator account to this group and then give this group full control permissions to the same folders the administrators groups have access to. This will allow you access to the folder with Windows Explorer. This is time consuming but the only solution if you want to keep UAC in use.
Your third option is to re-write the permissions on the folder and let Windows 7 do this for you. This is fine to do on normal folders but I would not recommend it on special folders like Windows, System32, user profiles etc. These folders have special permissions assigned to them. Overwriting these can cause serious problem and possibly a re-installation.
The 4th and final work around is probably your best option as it allows you to keep UAC enabled with no downsides to it. With the introduction of UAC came additional group policies in Windows 7 to manage it. These are located in Computer Configuration\ Windows Settings \ Security Settings \ Local Policies \ Security Options:

This last solution is probably your only option for special folders like profile folders.By default only the  user has access to their own profile. There is another group policy that will add the administrators group to each user profile when it is created thus allowing administrators access but of course this won’t work with UAC on.
From the printscreen above if you enable the first option it will basically disable UAC for the built-in administrator account. This prevent the Windows 7 access denied error on these special folders as you no longer need to elevate Windows Explorer therefore bypassing the bug. This keeps UAC on for all other accounts and is the most secure work around of the 4 provided. If you have other administrator accounts which  require access to these folders you will need to enable the 3rd option (highlighted above). This will affect anyone who is a member of the administrators GROUP rather than just the built-in administrator account. This kind of defeats the point though….You have effectively turned off UAC for all administrators so you might as well disable it outright. I would suggest enabling it for the built-in account only and use other administrator accounts for your administrative duties. Only when you come across this problem you could log in as the built-in administrator and then amend permissions accordingly.

Windows Vista/7 Repair Disc

Source by Rich

• How to make a Windows 7 repair disc yourself
• How to make a Windows 7 repair USB drive
• How to boot from a disc/USB drive and use it to repair your PC

Note: A repair disc cannot be used to install Windows and provides no functionality beyond that of a Windows installation disc. If you already have an installation disc, you can use that for system recovery.

Burn a Windows Vista/7 Repair Disc
To burn your own Windows repair disc you’ll need to be using Windows 7 or Windows Vista SP1 or later release:
1. Click Start, type create and click Create a System Repair Disc (Windows 7) or Create a Recovery Disc (Windows Vista)

2. Insert a CD/DVD, choose the DVD drive in which the disc resides and click Create Disc

Once the disc is finished, I recommend booting from the disc to test it—before you really need it.
Make a Windows Vista/7 Repair USB drive
If you own a netbook, don’t have an optical (CD/DVD/Bluray) drive etc., you should create a bootable USB repair drive.
To make a bootable Windows repair USB drive you’ll need to:

1. Download the Windows recovery disc
2. Make your thumb drive bootable
3. Copy the recovery files to your thumb drive

1. Download the Windows Recovery Disc

Do a web search for and download one of the following recovery discs

• Windows 7 32-bit Recovery Disc torrent
  
• Windows 7 64-bit Recovery Disc torrent
  
• Windows Vista 32-bit Recovery Disc  torrent
• Windows Vista 64-bit Recovery Disc  torrent

How to use torrents.

2. Make your Thumb Drive Bootable

To prepare your USB thumb drive, you will need to delete all the drive’s files, create a FAT32 active partition, and copy over the Windows recovery files. To do this:
2.1. Press Windows Key+R to open the Run dialog
2.2. Type diskpart and press Enter (If you don’t have diskpart, get it here)
2.3. Type list disk and press Enter
2.4.  Type select disk 3 where the “3″ is the corresponding number of your USB drive
2.5. Type clean and press Enter
2.6. Type create partition primary  and press Enter
2.7. Type active  and press Enter
2.8. Type format fs=fat32 quick  and press Enter
2.9. Type assign and press Enter to assign the USB drive a letter in Computer

3. Copy the Recovery Files to Your Thumb Drive.

To copy the files to your thumb drive:
3.1. Open the file you downloaded in step 1 with a utility capable of browsing ISO images (7 zip works well)

1. Download 7zip and install it
2. Right click the ISO file and select 7-Zip > Open Archive

3.2. Extract the contents of the ISO to the USB drive you formatted in step 2
Boot from a Disc/USB Drive and Use it to Repair Your PC
So now you’ve either downloaded a burned the Windows Vista/7 recovery disc, created your own Windows 7 recovery disc, or made a bootable Windows Vista/7 recovery thumb drive.
To boot from your disc/USB:
1. Insert your bootable repair disc/USB drive
2. Reboot your PC
3. When your BIOS is loading (if you have a brand-name PC, this is usually when you can see the brand’s logo), press the key that loads the boot options menu (this is usually displayed as an option on the screen and is typically the ESC/F8 key)
4. Arrow down to “CD-ROM Drive” / “DVD-ROM Drive” / “Removable Media” / “USB Media” and press Enter

The recovery software will take some time to load:

5. Now select your default keyboard layout:

6. After the software detects your installation of Windows, click Next:

What Can You Do with a Repair Disc?
A repair disc cannot be used to reinstall Windows but can perform many repair tasks. Here is just a small list of what you can do with a repair disc:

1. Startup Repair
2. System Restore
3. System Image Recovery
4. Windows Memory Diagnostic
5. Command Prompt

If you cannot boot into Windows because of corrupted settings, a virus etc, then you may find using a previously-created System Restore point will help you get back to Windows.
If you created a system image using Backup and Restore, you can use it to completely restore your computer to a previous state.
The memory diagnostic is used to check for bad memory sectors (more about the memory diagnostic tool.)
Finally, the command prompt can do (almost) anything the full command prompt can do while using Windows. This can be very useful to run tools like chkdsk to find out why your hard drive is suddenly not working.

System reserved partition in NT6.x

The 100mb of repair tools quite useful lately when the host drive's installation ran into a problem where Windows would stall at the logo screen. The automatic startup repair tool came to life on it's own plus the option to restore a system image created.
Note when originally partitioning the drive using GParted the separate 100mb section was never created. Instead the repair tools were somehow packed into the solid C primary. When partitioning the drive using the Windows drive tools during the installation however you see the 100mb section created.
Apparently using a 3rd party partitioning program is another option if you do not want the 100mb section created from the start. The image here shows hows the host drive looks in the DM without the 100mb being seen.
Having the repair tools already on the drive however can eliminate the need for the Seven dvd when a problem comes up. Just something to pass along here.

Attached Thumbnails

 

When you are first installing 7 on a new drive or one previously wiped no longer seeing a primary you would be using the MS drive tools options found on the dvd there. You will also note the 1-8mb of unallocated drive space for changing between the Basic type of volume used mainly on desktops or the Dynamic for server geared.
The MS drive tools also prepare the 100mb reserved as part of the installation for 7 to include the repair tools. When the drive is already seeing an active primary as you are pointing to the installer still places the repair tools tucked away at the beginning of the existing primary eliminating the need for the separate 100mb section.
I had initially been wondering if the repair tools wouldn't be available until seeing the startup repair come up while trying to debug a sudden hardware or lack of hardware detection problem. Suddenly no internet, no tuner card available, and the sound went out?
When interrupting a restore point the startup repair tool suddenly stepped in showing that the Windows installer still sucessfully placed them on the drive without the need for the 100mb taken away. The concern when removing the 100mb section when not having a 7 dvd would be the need to burn a repair cd with 7 fortunately now seeing that option included!
The 3 cards were simply removed and reseated to suddenly hear ping, ping, ping "you must restart to see the changes put into effect"! when the system was started afterwards. Windows 7 again solved it's own dilemna with the fresh detection as well as seeing the repair tools onhand having used a 3rd party drive tool.
For those who want to reclaim the 100mb of drive space be sure to burn a repair cd to have onhand since that can also save on handling the 7 dvd itself as well as for those not having one in the case of 7 being preinstalled. For those about to install 7 on a bare drive and want to avoid the 100mb being taken then the use of a 3rd party drive tool is something to consider as well.  --Night Hawk
 Anyway:
System Reserved Partition - Delete
1. Boot from your installation or repair disc.

2. When you get to the language screen, press Shift+F10.

3. Enter  
diskpart
list disk
(after diskpart is loaded)

4. Enter
select disk {Windows disk number}

5. Enter 
list partition
select partition {100MB partition number}

6. Enter
delete partition override

7. Enter  
select partition {Windows partition from step 5}
active

8. Close the command prompt.

We have deleted the partition, and Windows will be unable to boot at this point. Now it is time to write a new boot loader and BCD to the Windows partition.

-----------------------------------Q. But wouldn't
bootrec /fixmbr as step 7A write out a new boot record and eliminate the need for step 9?
A. Possibly, but that wouldn't rebuild the BCD.
Of course, you could also run
bootrec /rebuildbcd
but I trust startup repair more.
Bootrec command is the fastest way to get rid of GRUB's multiple boot menu when you want to unload Ubuntu - just rebuilt the MBR and then went in under Windows 7 and deleted the partitions.
-----------------------------------
9. Follow the instructions in Brink's tutorial for  
Running a startup repair.

1. Boot to the System Recovery Options screen using your retail Windows 7 installation disk or system repair disc.

2. Select the Startup Repair option. (See screenshot below)

3. Startup Repair will now scan your computer to attempt to find and fix any startup problems. (See screenshot below)
NOTE: Startup Repair might prompt you to make choices as it tries to fix the problem, and if necessary, it might restart your computer as it makes repairs. If repairs are not successful, you'll see a summary of the problem and links to contact information for support. Your computer manufacturer might include additional assistance information.

4. If problems cannot be found, then click on Next. (See screenshot below)
NOTE: You can click on the View diagnostic and repair details link to see a detailed summary of what Startup Repair has done.

A) Click on the Restart button to return to the Windows 7 log on screen. (See screenshot below step 2)

   Tip
Sometimes it may take running a startup repair a few (3) times before it fully fixes the startup issue.

 ======================================
You will need to extend your C partition to include that space. The Windows Disk Management tool cannot extend space to the left of the volume, so you'll need to use a third-party tool. I recommend Partition Wizard Free Edition:
Magic Server Partition Manager Software - Resize partition for Windows Server 2003, 2008 and 2000.
Using Partition Wizard, right-click on the C partition, and select Move/resize. Then drag the edge of the box to the left, to include that unallocated space.
When you're done, be sure to select Apply actions.

I thought the 1MB indicated a dynamic disk. If unfortunately your disk is dynamic.
It should be made "Basic" again.
See this tutorial
Convert a Dynamic Disk to a Basic Disk
Using free Partition Wizard 4.2 (NOT free 5.2) is the easiest way to convert and retain your data.
Note: Back everything up. Anticipate the worst when you do any partition operation.

How to restore your personal files after you perform a custom installation  of Windows Vista or of Windows 7
In some scenarios, you may be unable to perform an upgrade from an earlier version of Windows. If you cannot upgrade, you may have to perform a custom installation. When you perform a custom installation of Windows Vista or of Windows 7, Windows creates a Windows.old folder that contains the files from your previous system. You may want to recover your personal files from the Windows.old folder, and move them to the custom installation of Windows.
To have us restore personal files for you, go to the "Fix it for me" section. If you prefer to restore personal files yourself, go to the "Let me fix it myself" section.

Fix it for me
To fix this problem automatically, click the Fix it button or link. In the File Download dialog box, click Run, and follow the steps in the Fix it Wizard.

How to restore a Windows 7-based computer to a previous Windows installation by using the Windows.old folder
======================================
Windows 7 - Windows.old folder - Restore into a new installation
by lordbob
Information

This will restore the files and folders from the windows.old folder.
This means that any documents, settings, and programs will be restored to their previous positions and settings.
It will look similar to your previous installation, but not exactly the same! There will be some differences!
YES, this works in Vista, as well as Windows Seven. The instructions are EXACTLY the same!

Setup:

1) Make sure that you want to do a new installation. If you are, then boot into the Install Disk and complete the installation.

2) Now you want to restore some of your old files? OK, read on!
Let's begin:
1) Insert your Installation disk into your DVD drive, and reboot. Make sure you can boot from the DVD.

2) Press any key to boot from CD when the option appears.

3) At this point, you have already done a clean install over your existing installation.

4) Select "Repair Your Computer" from the installation menu (see screen shot below).

Click this bar to view the full image.

5) Select your Windows installation you want to restore to.

6) Select Command Prompt. This will bring up the command prompt window.

   Warning

This starts getting complicated, and if you do something incorrectly, it could cause problems. Make sure you have your windows.old folder backed up, as well as your current installation (if needed).

Type each command EXACTLY as it is written! If you misspell what is in the code box, you will misspell the folder, possibly causing problems or errors!

   Note

When you type one or more of the commands at the command prompt in the following steps in this section, and you then press ENTER, you may receive the following message:
The system cannot find the file specified.
If you receive this message, go to the next step in this section, and then type the command in that next step.

7) Type the following commands in, one at a time. Press ENTER at the end of each line. This will rename the windows.old folders, in preparation of being moved.

Code:

c:

Code:

ren Windows Windows.backup

Code:

ren "Program Files" "Program Files.old"

Code:

ren "Users" "Users.old"

Code:

rmdir "C:\Documents and Settings"

8) Now we will move the folders over the new ones, restoring your old settings and files. Again, type the commands in one at a time, pressing ENTER at the end of each. If you are using a drive other than c: for your windows installation, replace c: with that drive letter!

Code:

move /y c:\windows.old\windows c:\

Code:

move /y "c:\windows.old\program files" c:\

8a) When the previous Windows installation was Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows XP, or Microsoft Windows 2000:

Code:

move /y "c:\windows.old\documents and settings" c:\

8b) When the previous Windows installation was a different version of Windows Vista or Windows Seven:

Code:

move /y c:\windows.old\users c:\

9) Now we need to restore the boot sector of the previous installation.NOTE: D: represents the DVD drive in the following commands. If the DVD drive on the computer is represented by a different letter, such as E:, use that letter in the command.
When the previous Windows installation was Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows XP, or Microsoft Windows 2000

Code:

D:\boot\bootsect /nt52 c:

When the previous Windows installation was a different version of Windows Vista

Code:

D:\boot\bootsect /nt60 c:

10) Restore the Boot.ini file for the previous Windows Installation of Windows XP or Windows 2000
Note: Only follow these steps when the previous installation is Windows XP or Windows 2000.

Code:

c:

Code:

attrib boot.ini.saved -s -h -r

Code:

ren"boot.ini.saved""boot.ini"

Code:

attrib boot.ini +s +h +r

11) Exit Command Prompt by typing:

Code:

exit

Then restart your computer.

Your Windows installation will start as normal, with the newly restored files and settings.

   Warning

This does NOT work perfectly!!!
When I used this, I still encountered some errors, such as TWO Program Files folders, and missing icon pictures.

This is NOT a recommended way to do a restore! It will work, but you should back up your data and take the time to either create a restore image, or reinstall your files.

It WILL work just fine for files such as those in your Documents folder.

For anyone that wishes to use it, I hope it works for you.
I hope this tutorial will help many a person, and provide a solution.

Restore the Windows Vista or 7 bootloader

Source
To restore the Windows Vista/7 bootloader, you must first boot off your Windows Vista/7 installation DVD.
If you have one of the many OEM computers that didnt come with a Vista/7 installation disk, you can get the same effect with a Vista recovery disk, which you can download for Vista or Win 7.
When you get to the Regional settings, select your Location/Keyboard setting then click next. On the next page you must click on "Repair your computer."
On the next page, if it finds your Windows Vista/7 installation, make sure it is UNSELECTED before clicking next.
Then click on "Command prompt". From there, type in the folowing:

Code:

bootrec.exe /fixboot

Code:

bootrec.exe /fixmbr

Now close the two windows and click "Restart."
Take out your Vista/7 DVD and hopefully, you will be left with your Windows Vista/7 Bootloader.

Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool

Source 

Windows 7 können Netbook-Besitzer meist nur über einen USB-Stick installieren, weil solche Mobil-PCs kein optisches Laufwerk besitzen.
Das MS-Tool brennt die ISO-Datei der Windows 7 Installation auf einen bootfähigen USB-Stick.

Die Distribution von Windows 7 über DVD stellt Micrsoft vor einige Probleme: Wie sollen Anwender das neue Betriebssystem installieren, wenn ihr PC gar kein optisches Laufwerk mehr besitzt? Fast alle Netbook-Besitzer und so einige Notebook-Besitzer sind davon betroffen. Sicherlich gibt es für den Vorgang einige Tricks und Kniffe, doch die einfachste Form ist ein bootfähiger USB-Stick.

Microsoft Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool hier als Download

Bislang benötigte man dafür kostenpflichtige Software wie beispielsweise in unserem UltraISO-Howto beschrieben. Von Microsoft gibt es jetzt ein Gratis-Tool, womit man sich diesen USB-Stick selber anfertigen kann. Dafür benötigt man das so genannte ISO-Image der Windows 7 Installation. Wer das Windows-Betriebssystem im Microsoft Online Store erwirbt oder Abonnent von MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) ist, kann sich dieses ISO-Image von den Microsoft-Servern herunterladen. Alternativ kann man sich die ISO-Datei von der offiziellen Windows 7 Installations-DVD anfertigen, indem man ein klassisches Brennprogramm (z.B. Nero) benutzt.

Das Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool (WUDT) fertigt aus der ISO-Datei einen bootfähigen USB-Stick an, den man dann in nahezu jedes Netbook stecken kann. Eventuell sind noch Einstellungen im BIOS erforderlich, um das Booten der Installationsroutine von USB-Stick zu aktivieren. Das kleine Tool verlangt einen Stick mit mindestens 4 GB Fassungsvermögen, da Windows 7 circa 2,5 GB groß ist. Es läuft auf Windows XP SP2, Vista und Windows 7.

Windows 7 Error Code 39 Solution

Source
A Windows 7 error code 39 is another one of those annoying errors that seem hard to fix, but generally isn’t all that difficult once you know what you are looking for.
If your CD-ROM is not visible in My Computer, you might see that error code displayed in the Device Manager.
To check, open the Device Manager by right clicking on the “My Computer” icon on the desktop. Then on the Hardware tab, select the Device Manager button. In the Device Manger window, look at the CD or DVD drive with a yellow exclamation mark. Right-click on it and select update driver. Follow the instructions and reboot the computer.
If that doesn’t do the trick, you will need to correcting the problem via the registry error. You can manually go into the registry and attempt to fix the problem. An error code 39 in Windows 7 doesn’t include many keys fortunately.
On Start
Run
regedit [press the Enter key]
Next, navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Current\ControlSet\ ControlClass {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Delete any of the following registry entries if they exist under this key:

• LowerFilters
• LowerFilters.bak
• UpperFilters
• UpperFilters.bak

Once you have removed those files, restart your computer and check to see if the CD-ROM is visible. Also, go back into the device manager and confirm that the error code is indeed gone.
You will need to reinstall any applications that use the DVD or CD-ROM drive. For example Nero or other burning applications use these registry keys, so reinstalling the applications will re-add those keys and they should then be the correct versions of them.
Going into the registry is something that you should be comfortable with and be careful with however. Only edit keys you specifically know what they are. Incorrectly editing keys can lead to worse issues than the original problem. An easier potential solution is to download and use a registry cleaner program. These applications search for invalid or inaccurate registry keys and correct or remove them.
This should fix your Windows 7 error code 39.
You can find the best registry cleaners reviews in my website Improve PC Tools. You will also find there many great tools and utilities that will help you solve the Windows 7 error code 39.

Partición reservada -Windows 7

Sobre la nueva partición de sistema de Windows 7Una de las novedades más notables de Windows 7 es la nueva configuración de particiones que aplica por defecto. Cuando Windows 7 se instala en un disco recién formateado, automáticamente crea una partición de 200 MB, la marca como activa y no le asigna una letra de unidad. Esta captura de pantalla refleja esto:

Lo primero de todo aclarar un poco la nomenclatura, que resulta algo confusa: La primera partición de la imagen se denomina partición de sistema y contiene los archivos que sirven para que Windows 7 arranque correctamente. La otra partición se denomina partición de arranque y contiene el resto de archivos del sistema operativo.

¿Qué beneficios conlleva separar la partición de arranque de la partición de sistema?

Tener una partición separada para los ficheros de arranque es beneficioso puesto que facilita la instalación de múltiples sistemas operativos, sobre todo si unos son de la rama Windows NT (Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista) y otros de la rama Windows 9x (Windows 95, 98, ME) ya que estos últimos no soportan el sistema de archivos NTFS. Otro motivo por el cual es beneficioso tener particiones separadas es que algunos virus y malware (aunque cada vez menos) suponen que el sistema operativo reside en la unidad C. Al tener los archivos del sistema operativo en otra partición, el código del virus fallará.

Sin embargo, el motivo principal por el cual Microsoft ha adoptado esta medida es que ciertas herramientas relacionadas con el almacenamiento requieren una configuración de particiones en la que la unidad de arranque esté separada de la unidad de sistema. Una de estas herramientas es Bitlocker, ya presente en las ediciones Ultimate y Enterprise de Windows Vista. Bitlocker requiere una partición de sistema separada de la partición de arranque para poder cifrar correctamente el contenido de un volumen.

¿Puedo configurar en algún sitio que esa reserva de 200 MB sea menor?

No es posible, pero Microsoft espera reducir el tamaño de la partición de sistema en posteriores versiones de Windows 7 (tenga en cuenta que aún no está ni en fase beta).

¿Se puede evitar la creación de dos particiones de alguna manera?

Si durante la instalación Windows 7 detecta que la partición donde se va a instalar es la partición activa, los ficheros de arranque y el resto de archivos del sistema operativo se almacenarán en una única partición. Sin embargo, por todo lo comentado más arriba, es altamente recomendable indicar que se instale en una partición no activa para que los archivos de arranque se instalen en otra partición separada (la partición activa).

Es importante comentar que la creación de dos particiones es una posibilidad que ya estaba presente en Windows Vista, con tres diferencias con respecto a Windows 7: No era la configuración por defecto, la partición de sistema sí recibía una letra de unidad y el tamaño de dicha partición era bastante elevado (1,5 GB). Por último comentar que si tiene Windows Vista y los archivos de arranque y de sistema residen en una misma partición, puede separarlos en dos particiones usando la herramienta Bitlocker Drive Preparation.

Restore Windows 7 Master Boot Record

Source
The command we will use, bootsect.exe, is in a folder (named boot) on the DVD.

We need to know what drive letter has been assigned the DVD drive to access the folder.

Code:

Type: diskpart
and press Enter
 
Type: select disk 0 (zero)
and press Enter
 
type: list volume
and press Enter

In this screen shot, the 7 DVD is letter: G

7. Use your DVD drive letter and

Code:

Type: exit
and press Enter
 
to close Diskpart
 
Type: G: (use the letter of your DVD drive)
and press Enter
 
Type: cd boot
and press Enter
 
Type: dir
and press Enter

to verify that bootcect.exe is there (if you really need to)

8. To restore the "bootsector code":

Code:

TYPE: bootsect /nt60 SYS /mbr
and press Enter

NOTE: If this method fails to restore the MBR, you can try the bootrec command as it is also a tool for repairing the MBR.

9. When completed successfully,

Code:

Type: exit
and press Enter

This will close the command prompt window.

10. Now select Shut Down or Restart

Setup can not repair this computer automatically

Make sure Windows 7 partition is marked Active then try Startup Repair up to 3 separate times with reboots: Partition - Mark as Active
If Windows 7 still won't show up to repair, try using Repair CD Command Line to run bootrec.exe /fixboot then bootrec.exe /fixmbr to see if it will jump start it to show up to repair.
Next test your HD using maker's diag/repair full CD scan: http://www.carrona.org/hddiag.html followed by Disk Check from the Repair CD Command Line.
You can copy your files out using the Repair CD:
Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console
Then run your Recovery Partition or Recovery Disks, or re-install windows 7
Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times

When a Windows Operating System (OS) is installed it becomes the system volume or commonly referred to as "System, Active" partition and by default it will contain all the files needed to boot Windows. When a second OS is installed to the same PC (a dual or multi boot) the files needed to boot that OS will be added to the existing "system volume" containing boot files from the previous install and the 2 OSs will 'share' the boot files and if either of the 2 is removed or damaged so as to not boot, that may directly affect the other OS's ability to boot.

There is another situation that is common now, when Windows 7 is installed to an un-partitioned or "unallocated space" on a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) it creates one partition (the first) labeled "System Reserved" that becomes the "system volume" and a second partition that Windows 7 installs to, both "Primary" partitions; the "System Reserved" partition is where the boot files are created and has a link to the recovery options console built into Windows 7, it serves a very useful purpose but there may be times when removing or repairing the "System Reserved" partition becomes necessary.

click any image to enlarge

The simplest way to make these changes is to do what is referred to as a startup repair it's a process that will write new boot files to the selected OS and it will then be able to boot independently; or in other cases you may want to rearrange / change the partition structure, you can use a startup repair to correct this also.
The trick is that sometime and in certain situations it becomes absolutely necessary to do as many as 3 separate startup repairs with a system restart between each repair to completely write boot files to the "new" location and if the process is interrupted or not completed you will be right back where you started, with a PC that will not start-up at all.

   Warning

As with anything that makes changes to the Windows structure there is always the chance for an error to occur, it would be advisable to make reliable backups to the media of your choice of any important data, i.e. pictures, music or documents, that you would not want to lose before you make any changes to your system, it is always better to be safe than sorry.

Option One

---

Using Disk Management

1) In the Windows start menu search box type diskmgmt.msc right click the entry and click "Run as Administrator" if you get a User Account Control (UAC) prompt enter your user credentials and click Yes; in Disk Management right click the partition you want to be the "system volume" and click "Mark Partition as Active".

[...]

Option Two

---

Using DISKPART

If you have a Windows 7 full installer DVD, have a look at Method One in this tutorial at the link below to see how to boot to diskpart so you can mark the desired partition as "Active" so that WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment) will know where to write the new boot files.
How to Boot to DISKPART at PC Startup
If you are using a created windows repair disk have a look at Method Two and if you are using a Vista full installer view Method Three.
Once in diskpart of course you would substitute your disk / partition information in-place of that listed in the snips for demonstration purposes.
1) To mark the selected partition as "Active" click to see this snip below.

2) To mark the selected partition as "Inactive" click to see this snip below.
If there is more than 1 partition marked "Active" that will cause WinRE to not be able to complete the repairs properly as the active flag is the designation of where the new boot files are to be created / repaired, if so the other partitions will have to be marked as "Inactive" for the repairs to be completed.
To see how to mark the selected partition as "Inactive" click this snip below.
This can also be done from an elevated command window.

3) How to check if a partition is marked "Active" click to see the snip below.
