I have a problem with windows bootloader. I installed Parrot OS A couple of days ago and I made a mistake when installing it because I cannot dual boot into windows, it wont even boot windows installer from USB.

well get a windows installer and do bootup repair and see if that helps, else you need to do it manually.

Install a portable version of Linux on a USB drive and boot it, then search and transfer anything you think would be important. Then reinstall win.

Parrot OS works without a problem. Is there any way I could use windows repair tool to solve the problem?

Not without breaking parrot os. Are these operating systems on the same drive or separate?

They are on the same drive. I don't care if I break parrot os cause all my files are on windows and I don't have another disk to back it up.

Is your computer BIOS or EFI?

Actually ignore this...

 

This guide contains information for both setups on Windows 7, 8 & 10 however you are going to need a boot disc or usb drive...

...and boot from your Disc/USB then start at the Repair Your Computer section of the guide (basically ignore the Dell Diagnostic parts as that's Dell specific).

Also make sure that the USB you're trying to boot into is prioritised higher than the boot loaders installed on the hard drive, or it will still try to boot from the hard drive if you haven't already. Is there any error you got when booting to the USB?
