    Messed up boot up harddisk. Need help to repair.


    I was trying to clone my win 7 to another SSD and I messed somthing up.
    Let say, I have two SSD A (Original) and SSD B (New)
    Current
    SSD A: System Reserved + F:
    SSD B: Deleted partition + C:

    I was try to undo the clone. However, Boot up on SSD A is pointing to SSD B. How can I reverse it back to SSD A? (F: and C: are the same)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi JoshuaAvalon, welcome to the Forum.

    If you disconnect SSD B, will the computer boot up?. If it does can you make a screen shot of your SSD A. To that follow this tutorials on supplying a screen shot.

    Disk Management - Post a Screen Capture Image

    Screenshots and Files - Upload and Post in Seven Forums

    Also what size are both of the SSDs?.

    What program did you use for the clone?.

    > If you disconnect SSD B, will the computer boot up? It boot up to login screen. But when I login in it will show "Preparing Your Desktop" and load forever.

    >Also what size are both of the SSDs
    Same size

    >What program did you use for the clone?
    Clonezilla

    This is the current screen shot.

    Your problem is that the System Reserved should be on the Disk that has C: with your Active. If you make that change you should be OK. Do you have a Win 7 Disk? If so then follow the Tutorial Startup Repair == Before you do that, there is one important thing that must be done. The reason your PC is messed up is because you had more than one Disk plugged in when installing Windows. After you boot your PC and before you begin Startup Repair, open your PC and unplug all Disks except for the one with C:. Run the Startup Repair, boot your PC with only C: plugged in and let us know if it booted. == Just as info, doing an Image is more reliable than a Clone. Macrium Reflect is the best software and it is free. Macrium Reflect Free

    No, it does not work.

    For further investigation, I try to boot up from C:. I found that it is fine.
    I assume that is because Window ( F: ) thinks it is boot up from C: (which is not)

    What does not work, booting? Then you say that C: is fine. You have me confused. == If System Reserved is not on the Disk with C:, it is NOT FINE. == Did you run Startup Repair?

    Before I faced this problem, I used it to fix bootmgr. When I try to open it again, it said not compatible.

    No, from my msconfig, it said current OS is from F:\Windows. Also, if I try to boot from C:\, it has a text on the bottom right saying my window is not valid. Therefore, I want to fix the F:\Windows

    I have asked different questions. You have not answered them. You only tell me stuff you have done. I can't help. You want to make Windows boot from F:. Can't do it. If you want help, you need to follow us and answer our questions.
