I'm fixing my boot record with bootrec.exe, the first command goes:
C:\>bcdedit /export c:\BCD_Backup
Immediately I receive this error here:

The store export operation has failed.
The requested system device cannot be found.

Likewise, the next command fails, because bcd file is missing:
C:\>attrib bcd -s -h -r

Lastly, when trying the next command, all it returns is "The requested system device cannot be found". C:\>bootrec /RebuildBcd

I'm using Windows 7 setup image to operate. Have Vista installed atm. Has it happened to you? I'd appreciate some orientation.
