I have backup software, that was unable to solve the problem after trying to merge two partitions using EaseUS partition software. One would think with all the solutions online, after nearly three hours in total trying to fix the problem; I would have fixed it by now, unfortunately, no. From letting WinPE and my backup software try to fix the Boot Manager to the commands such as bootrec /fixmbr etc, nothing is working. I can't use my native Windows7 Professional disc because it is the upgrade disc and it is not compatible with my version of windows, that is the strict error it informs me about. The support from my backup software takes no responsibility and is blaming the issue on EaseUS which I was using a free verson, there is no support from them either. Windows obviously doesn't boot, I'm beginning to think it can't be fixed, despite the dozens of fixes online that don't relate to me.
