re-installs, bootmgr on wrong drive
Phenom 940BE, 4gb Corsair XMS 800, Gigabyte MA790X-UD3P
Windows 7 x64 - 32GB Corsair SSD
internal storage drives
Samsung spinpoint 1TB (2 partitions)
Samsung Spinpoint 2TB (2 partitions)
im having problems with the bootmgr installing on different partitons.
at first i didnt know what was going on with BSOD on restarts and windows install disk could never find a restore point or help restart.
I had reinstalled lots of times then I unhid system files and found bootmgr on all partitions so i deleted all the bootmgr and boot folders , unhooked all other drives except my 32GB SSD and then re-installed.
Also i used Acronis to turn my 4 storage partitions to logical.
This morning my PC would not boot again
BSOD on restart said Bad system config.
Windows disk checked for problems reported
the partion does not have a valid system partiton - then repair successful
but it was not , my PC still would not boot
system restore from windows disk said you must specify which windows installation to restore?
i found out the 100mb part of the 32GB SSD which was meant to be unallocated space was now system and one of my partitons was Active-Logical.
when i installed the Samsung 2TB drive a few weeks ago,
on installed one of its partitions would never be assigned a letter or show in my computer .
i would have to go to Computer Management and name and number the partition to show up.
This is the same partiton Installs like to install system files on.
On the last install i deleted all the SSD and wiped it clean before install.
Somehow even after naming partitions logical and deleting system files from them it still happens
Please can anyone help with any ideas how to cure this?
thanks
