windows bootmng is on the wrong drive.

[Gtx Gaming]

so i went and redo my pc last night , as would normal, boot from disc and format my ssd and install windows on my ssd.


everyone worked etc , no problems, then i see my 1 drive is not in my computer.

The drive detects in bios, and is in disk management enables and everything looks normal.

So played around a bit seems windows install boot file on my other drive as if i remove it windows does not boot, say bootmng is missing.( something like that)

In drive manager the 1tb show as system drive, the one that have the boot files on it, where the rest does not

so how do i get bootmng(files) back on my ssd and get my drive off system, so i can open it, i really do not want to format it, because it is possible just a software issue.

Regards

I think I had a similar problem. Google "move boot partition". You'll need a bootable gparted disc.

In the end it was easier for me to stay from scratch, so that's all the info I have for you.

My fix was easy, disconnect your Data Hard Drive. Put the Windows 7 dvd in your drive and make sure you bios is set to boot from the DVD drive. You want to select “repair your computer”, not “install”. It will look for your current windows 7 installation, but won’t find it, it’ll state it need sto be repaired and you’ll need to reboot. Follow these same steps again, this time it will find the Windows 7 installation, select next and you’ll have this screen, http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/What-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-7

seems this all that i have to do, will try it at home

I remember Windows 7 doing this incredibly stupid thing during an install to me once, unbelievable how stupid this is, almost fascinatingly stupid lol.

Incase it helps anyone I don't think you don't need any extra tools or boot disc etc to fix it, I remember using bcdedit and searching for that again found this, though it also deals with some extra problems.

To have bcdedit copy the files to another drive the command looks something like this (from the command prompt / CMD)

bcdedit /export X:\boot\bcd

where X is your 7 drive.
