Moving boot sector to another partition
I have gone through hours upon hours of work to try to seperate my windows 7 hard drive from my XP's boot sector. I managed to get it to work but with a catch, I now have 2 windows 7's and the junk one is being used as the boot partition.
Right now I am running without my XP HDD to make things simpler. The HDD I have has 3 partitions. 2 are meant for operating systems and the other for game storage. The first partition on the HDD is my main windows 7 partition. The second partition is another windows 7 instal that I installed on it, to get the boot sector to work. The boot sector now lives but it is on my second (junk) partition.
I want to move my boot sector from the second partition to the first, where it should have been in the beginning. However I have been having trouble doing so and thought I would get input from people that have done this before spending 8 hours trying to figure out how to do it.
After moving I want to delete my second partition and clone my XP drive onto it, but that is a different issue that can wait.
