1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next".
3. Click Repair your computer."
 
Use Bootrec to locate Windows installations:
1. We need to boot with the installer of the windows version that the server has installed.
2. Next, Repair your computer.
 
3. Choose an option / Troubleshoot
 
4. Advance Options / Command Prompt
 
5. write de following command
    bootrec /fixmbr  (the operation completed successfuly)
    bootrec /fixboot (the operation completed successfuly)
    bootrec /scanos (Scanning all disk for windows installation)
    bootrec /rebuildbcd (Scanning all disk for windows installation)
                       
                       Add installation to boot list? Yes/NO/All: A (the operation completed successfuly)
