cant get win 7 to boot - bootmgr stuck on broken xp HD
Hey guys, got a slight problem that i cannot seem to fix!
i have 2 hard drives, one running xp, one running windows 7.
up until recently they have been working fine together, but i think i had/have a virus and it trashed my XP drive (crashes right after desktop loads) which is no worry to me.
my worry is every time i try to boot into windows 7, i recieve the "BOOTMGR IS MISSING - CNTRL ALT DLT TO RESTART" error.
i have tried a bunch of things like attempting to move the bootmgr file from the XP drive to the windows one, and trying to create the bootmgr on the win7 drive, but no luck.
so my question is how can i get windows 7 to boot indepentantly from my messed up XP drive, casue the boot files are on the xp one.
any help would be awesome, if you need more info i will do whatever you need.
Thanks
