If the boot loader to your Windows Server 2008 engine gets corrupted or deleted for whatever reason, it in effect is a painstaking process to get it fixed. The boot loader to my engine got deleted somehow while I was resizing partitions. After scouring the web, I could not find whatever on rebuilding the boot loader for Windows Server 2008. All I could find were instructions to restore a Windows Vista boot loader but luckily, the process for Server 2008 is similar.

Due to the lack of recovery tools on the Server 2008 premise Cd, the boot loader must be rebuilt manually.

Insert the Server 2008 premise Cd into your Dvd-Rom. Restart your computer and boot from the Cd.

Choose to fix your computer, then open the command prompt.

At the command prompt, use the following commands:

cd boot

bootsect /nt60 c: /force /mbr

bootrec /rebuildbcd

After using the "bootrec /rebuldbcd" command, you will be prompted to accept a Windows installation. Accept the installation, then wait for the process to finish. Once it's done, reboot your comptuer and you should have a boot loader ready to go.

If you do not have a "boot" briefcase in the principles C: drive, then copy the "boot" briefcase form the Windows premise Cd to the C: drive. Use the following command which assumes E: is your Dvd-Rom

mkdir c:boot

copy e:boot* c:boot

Afterwards, just use the boot restore commands to rebuild the bootloader.
