Troubleshooting startup help needed
Okay I have had Win7 Prof 64bit running fine for a while. I needed to backup my mbp and all my other HDDs are dead (thanks to a MBP that killed them all, screw you apple). I decided since my desktop HDD is 500gb and I am using 100gb, I could use it.
I shrunk the partition in Win7, reformatted the new 200gb partition to fat32, leaving my original @ 300gb (with 100gb in use, so I know I partitioned the right one). I had no probalem using the 200gb as a time machine backup in a new MBP apple gave me.
Now that I put the drive back into my desktop it will not boot!!!!. At first it said MISSING OPERATING SYSTEM, then I realized I plugged it into 2SATA6 instead of 2SATA0. Once I changed where it was plugged in, I got an error "DISK BOOT FAILURE". I then inserted the Win7 disc I have, went to repair it and the HDD did not show up in the repair option.
I decided to see if the HDD showed up in the install option and it did (with 100gb still in use).
Anyone have any ideas what is wrong?
I think the master boot record got messed up.
