I'm trying to rebuild my BCD but my windows7 installation cannot be found.



So far, I have typed these commands from the Windows7 install DVD (which I booted in UEFI mode) :



X:sources>chkdsk /r c:
X:sources>bcdedit /export C:BCDBackup
The operation completed successfully.
X:sources>attrib c:bootbcd -h -r -s
X:sources>ren c:bootbcd bcd.old
X:sources>bootrec /rebuildbcd
Scanning all disks for Windows installations.

Please wait, since this may take a while...

Successfully scanned Windows installations.
Total identified Windows installations: 0
The operation completed successfully.
X:sources>attrib c:bootmgr -h -r -s
X:sources>ren c:bootmgrbackup
X:sources>bootrec /rebuildbcd
Scanning all disks for Windows installations.

Please wait, since this may take a while...

Successfully scanned Windows installations.
Total identified Windows installations: 0
The operation completed successfully.


Still, Windows cannot be found.



Here is some useful information about my PC (which I booted from a French install DVD of Windows) therefore, you will notice I translated into English the best I could :



diskpart info. on my GPT disk :
