PC no longer boots to c: drive ??
I have multiple HDDs in my box...the main Win 7 Pro installation is on c: drive - a Samsung SSD 840 128GB. Some how...the boot menu setup changed...did noting I'm aware of tto cause the change...but apparently one of the HHD's has a Win XP Pro cloned drive...thought is was simply a backup of my laptop (XP) ?
Anyway if I let my system bios start normally...it starts the XP version (never ever did this before)...I have a 'choose boot drive' option in the bios and if I select that...I can start the Win 7 Pro 64 bit with no issues...but rebooting and letting the bios start normally...I'm back to the XP drive
If I disconnect the XP drive...I get an error at boot saying something like insert or add boot drive...
Attached is the current boot.ini.saved(.txt) file on my c: drive...referring to XP. There's no plain boot.ini drive that I can see. I have show system & hidden files on in Explorer
I have EasyBCD 2.1.2 installed...it just shows Win 7 drive....nothing referring to XP that I can find ?
Before I completely lose my Win 7 system...how can I remove the reference to XP at boot and restore the boot.ini file to load Win 7 Pro 64bit?
This was a clean install of Win 7 Pro...not an upgrade from XP or anything else...only connections to XP was on the extra HDD that I thought was only a Tib backup of my laptop XP system
Thanks...TiminAz
