It was at least a gb or two, there were files from 2009 in there.
Can you clarify on the partitioning? The OS is on a hard disk that isn't partitioned (74gb drive) so I'm not clear how I could expand it?
My system isn't fixing itself which is why I'm trying to look for a solution.
When you say "Not Partitioned", do you mean the OS is on a HD by itself? Could you post a screen shot of
Disk Management - Post a Screen Capture Image
This will help to see the situation better. Be sure and spread the columns so that all the print can be read. Thanks,
Disk 1 is the hard drive with the OS that is not booting up.
I see some problems with Disk 1. Let me ask a few questions first. == Disk 0, Do you have an OS on C: drive and if so what is it? It looks like that should boot OK. If you unplug Disk 1, your PC should boot. == Disk 1, what OS is on it? Since you have two System Reserved partitions, you must be trying to boot two different OS's. Let me know and then I can proceed as to how to get this repaired. Thanks,
Both disks have a copy of Windows 7 on them. When I try to boot disk 1, I completely disconnect disk 0.
Disk 1 is the drive with the copy of windows that will not boot up, I did not originally have two drives with OS's on them, it's currently like this so that I can use the computer.

If you disconnect Disk 1, does you PC work OK? It appears that Disk 0 is in good shape. If Disk 0 works OK, is there any need to have Windows on Disk 1? I don't really see any purpose. == There are several problems with the way Windows is setup on Disk 1. I need to know if you want to have two Win 7 on your PC or if Disk 0 is working, that is all you want?
The computer works fine because I set it to boot to disk 0. There is nothing wrong with disk 0's OS, this is an issue with Disk 1's OS. I do not need nor want two OS's on two separate disks on the same computer, the only reason disk 1 is hooked up is so that I can access it. All I want to do is fix Disk 1's OS so that it actually boots up; this has nothing to do with Disk 0
I want to fix disk 1 so it can boot and then I can separate the drives to different computers, they are two different licences in play here regardless.
OK, that was what I was trying to find out. == Disconnect Disk 0 permanently. You will need a Win 7 install disk. Boot from the Win 7 disk and run Repair Install three times. If this does not make your PC bootable, you will have to do a Clean Install Windows 7
If you don't have a disk, you can download a ISO here. http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technol...download-links Be sure and get the correct language, Version (Home Premium, Pro, Etc) and either 32-bit or 64-bit. Burn the ISO to a DVD and you have your own Win 7 disk. During the install it will ask you to put in the Product Key. Don't do that until you are happy with the install. You have 30 days to input the Product Key.
