System Image problem

Thanks Nate, I'm just thinking, next time i do a format, just to have 500GB drive in it, so it has nowhere else to put the boot files, besides the 100MB partition, that i am missing :/.

Yeah, think that's my last resort.

Neither of them are on :/ hmm.

Thanks for your help so far.

You are very welcome. I was not of much help because for some strange reason I had never painted myself into that corner (defunct MBR) yet. So I never had to fix one yet. But at least you know what needs repair.
I wonder though, how it did get to that point in the first place. That is a real mystery. When I do an installation, I always disconnect the "other" disk - mainly because there is usually an OS on the other disk and I do not want to end up in a dual boot situation. But when you installed, that was not the case.

Thst's right, no OS on the other disk, but i didn't unplug it..

I couldn't wait much longer, have alot of things to do on it, so i caved in and am currently reinstalling. I DID this time unplug the 1TB to avoid this happening again.

SO i should be fine, marked thread as closed.

Ahh! fair enough..

On a very sad note, today my brain is not functioning properly.

Made a very stupid mistake, only just as i was about to reinstall, i noticed my D,E and F drives showing up in the 'where do you want to install' leading to only 1 answer, ive been pulling the 500GB drive out, not the 1TB.

After i kicked myself, called myself a retard, ripped all my hair out, i put the 500GB in and took the 1TB out, ran startup repair twice, and now the system is working perfectly. But i on the otherhand, am not working properly.

Very sorry for the muckup, just not with it today.
