Repairing the Windows 7 Animated Boot Screen.

Well quite a few days ago , I installed XP along with Windows 7 already present on my systems , and as usual the Lateron installation of XP Erased and Rewrote the Window 7 MBR (Master Boot Records ) and wrote the NTLDR (Windows NT Boot Loader) . And it as usual resulted in a loss over the Boot Menu and i lost the entry of Windows 7 on it , well that was settled when i did a Custom BCD Editing of it using EasyBCD and the Boot Entries were successfully written , but shortly after that during the time of Booting into Windows 7 i saw that the Windows 7 Animated Boot Screen wasn't there and got replaced with the old boring Vista's Boot Screen.


So Here is WHY ?

The invalid and wrong boot screen for Windows 7 is due to missing locale entry in boot record, which failed to be set when editing or rebuilding the BCD.

And here is how to fix it .

Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click on "Command Prompt" and -> Select Run As Administrator -> When Prompted click "Yes".

At the Console Type these Command and Hit Enter.

bcdboot %WinDir% /l en-US

And the output is shown as follows.



If the Above Message isn't shown then make sure that you are running the Command Prompt with the Admin rights i.e. "Run as Administrator".

If all goes right then the Animated Boot Screen should be fixed.
