    It seems that grub2win is successfully installed on my system, it even shows the created BCD entry. But when I choose the "Grub 2 for Windows" option it gives me an error saying that the file \grub2\winloader\grub2.boot is missing or corrupt .

    grub2win is my last option before disassembling my laptop, since Windows 7 has just overwritten my Ubuntu GRUB and I can't neither boot from USB nor access my BIOS. I wouldn't recommend HP laptops to anyone...

    What could I do to solve this problem?

      Hi Leandro,

      I've looked over your BCD listing. It appears that Ubuntu may have
      altered the Windows boot manager. Note the entry

      path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi
      description Windows Boot Manager

      This was entry created by the Ubuntu install, not Windows or Grub2Win
      and has taken over control of your boot process.

      You may want to try rebuilding your BCD using this nice tutorial from
      Tim Fisher

      http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/rebuild-bcd-store-windows.htm

      You will need to boot from your Windows Install DVD to access the
      command line utilities involved.

      Once your BCD is fixed. You should be able to boot Windows and
      re-install Grub2Win. Then install Ubuntu carefully, making sure you tell
      the install not to create a bootloader.

      Hope this helps,

      Dave

      This functions is used to boot Windows In Automatic mode

      The Windows boot partition is found using

      the $winpart variable provided by Grub2Win.

      Additional logic is required for Windows 7 and 8, since the boot
      partition

      is not necessarily the Windows C: drive.

      Windows sometimes boots from a special "System Reserved" partition.

      This depends on how Windows was initially installed.

      set bootcontrol=BCD
      set bootstyle=bootmgr

      echo C: partition at address $bootpart
