| | Marked wrong drive as active need help So I did something really stupid and believe when I was looking around that I marked both drives as active and it moved my secondary drive to the front in the space as disk 0 and moved the windows drive to disk 1 and thanks it is supposed to boot from the wrong drive. I have no windows 7 recovery disk at hand. So when it tries to boot it says something along the lines of can't find BOOTMGR. What do I need to do to get my system up and running, and how do I unmark the drive as active? Please I appreciate any help. |

| | You can mark a partition as inactive using the diskpart command. If you can't boot, you should be able to access diskpart using your Windows installation disc. You just need to get to a command prompt to run it. |

| | Physically disconnect the secondary HD. Make the Windows 7 HD, disk0 & first HD boot in BIOS.Also connected to the first Sata port on the MOBO. You may need to do a startup repair: Startup Repair Note: You may need to do startup repair 3 to 4 times. Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times When Windows is booting OK, Reconnect the other secondary HD, as Disk1. If you have not made your Startup Repair System Repair Disc - Create Do you have a mate with Windows 7 of the same bit version 32 or 64 & CD/DVD RW Drive, how could burn one off. |
