Hello,
First thanks to "Ambucias"
Try this 1
Boot from the "Vista Recovery Disc"
When "System Recovery Options" window appear ---> Click on "Command
Prompt". Now enter the following commands one by one.
bootrec /fixmbr ----> Press Enter.
bcdedit /export c:\bcd_backup ----> Press Enter.
c: ----> Press Enter.
Note : Now your prompt changes to C:\>
cd boot ----> Press Enter.
Note : Now your prompt changes to C:\Boot>
attrib bcd -s -h -r ----> Press Enter.

Good Luck.

I am having same problem as the original post, with a Toshiba Satellite 455 laptop, Win 7, Home Premium. Mine started after a failed Registry clean... stopped part way thru, hung up. Attempted disk recovery but that stopped part way thru too. Did not have recovery CD, but made one from another Win 7 laptop, using that to attempt recovery. Have only been able to load Windows part way,,, get black screen & cursor but nothing else. Cursor does nothing.
Cannot get command prompt to come up at all, like thru startup options, etc., unless there is some secret way you know of to do that.
The more I try, the worse it seems to get. At first I could do a "Memory Diagnosis", but now cannot even do it, since the last time I did it I got:
File: /boot/memtest.exe
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
Question: Given this information - would the above fix work in my situation too? My main problem is getting to the command prompt to enter yor fix process, and even if I could, I am not sure your solution will work with my situation. It is VERY similar to the original post. The description they give is exactly what I have, except for the file error details (which I am not sure if they had going too, but they were not aware of them yet).
I ask this of you since you seem to be quite knowledgeable on this subject, and it is the closest, best answer I have found after DAYS of searching for an answer to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance for your time and interest in answering this for me!
