Windows Boot Manager
I restored my entire pc but upon completion the system would not boot. Windows Boot Manager apparently was not restored? I am able to boot the system be selecting the boot menu during startup and selecting the proper drive. I've tried correcting the boot order in the BIOS but that doesn't seem to work either. I there a way to get the Windows boot Manager working again?
Thanks,
Steve G.

No, only one boot drive but 5 drives in all. I did a complete system restore. Didn't specify any disks.

Steve, did you have a separate Microsoft System Reserved / EFI System Partition included in your backup that you restored from? This is where the Windows Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store is often located, otherwise it is in a hidden location on the main Windows OS partition.
See webpage: Repairing A Broken Bootloader Or Master Boot Record In Windows 7, 8, And 10 which gives a number of methods of resolving this type of problem, including using the following commands from within Windows.
bootrec /ScanOS – Scans for compatible OSes.
bootrec /FixMbr – Writes a new master boot record to the HDD or SSD.
bootrec /FixBoot – Writes a new boot sector to the OS partition.
bootrec /RebuildBcd – Scans for compatible Windows installs and creates a new boot loader.

I'm not sure about the Microsoft System Reserved/EFI System Partition but I will try the methods described in the link you provided. Thank you so much. I'll let you know how it goes..
