W7 wont boot after ghost image restore on new harddisk

One more reminder, the Windows 7 Product Key need to be changed after a system clone.
Only 1 product key can exist in 1 PC at a time.

Hi if you have ghosted a machine with a windows 7 image and when image has finished been transfered you get a error message informing you that it can not find partiton.

Boot your machine up using bartPE cd and type the following form a command propmt.


c:\windows\system\32

then type

bcdedit /set {default} device partition=c:
bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=c:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device partition=c:

windows 7 will boot to start up menu.

Use free Partition Wizard bootable CD which is more compatible with Win7.
