ghosted a drive need help with boot loader
I have a 1 tb drive with my OS primary on 100 gig of it and the remainder to a data drive.
I just ghosted that partition to a new drive (entire drive used 114 gig ) and the boot loader is not the same?
My original partition had one option "win 7" and when I tell the bios to boot to the new drive it shows 3 options... I'm pretty sure I know how this happened. The partition I copped over had its own boot loader in addition to the MBR's boot loader. So copping the partition over didn't copy the right (MBR ) boot loader.
So I have my os back up on the original set up and my ghosted drive currently without a drive letter. I can assign one but need to know what to do here. I need to some how create a boot loader on the new drive or copy the old one over. I assume I can still use c:\ as my drive letter once I swap the bios settings. Guessing windows will do that automatically?
In DM is says the drive is simple basic NTFS primary partition. Should I mark it as active and is there a way to put a MBR boot loader on there?
