Hello all! I have found a few people with this problem (including myself) . If you have dual booted Windows 7 and Windows 8 (even by using a VHD to boot from) and are getting the 0xc000428 error when booting Windows 7, I have the solution.
1. Insert a Windows 7 Setup disc and boot from it.
2. Choose your language.
3. Click on "Repair you computer" at the bottom
4. Select "Windows 7" for the Windows installation selection
5. At the recovery tools page, click on CMD
6. Enter the following commands:
1. D: (adjust this to wherever your copy of 7 is located)
2. cd \Windows\System32
3. del winload.exe
4. copy "winload~1.exe" winload.exe
5. exit
Now boot into Windows 7, and download EasyBCD. From there, you can add a new OS into the bootloader using a GUI.
Hope this helps!
