Merge copies of windows?
Hi, i was wondering if i could have some help please.
I was repairing a laptop for a friend as he had a dodgy copy of windows so i had to re install windows. It reinstalled fine but it had 4 partitions for some reason and i think i installed it over the wrong one not the older (broken) copy of windows.
Now when i turn it on it has the windows operating system choice page and when i choose a version of win 7 one activates the old OS which doesnt work and therefore goes into startup repair and says its unfixable. The other activates the new (working) OS i instaled but it is completely new as it looks when its cleanly installed on a new pc. However under the D: drive i can see the broken copy of windows along with all of the files and programs.
Is there anyway i can remove the broken OS and move all the files of the new one into the new one?
Thanks in advance for the help
