    ok so I had problems with my HDD and they replace it with new I installed windows 7 but I forgot to create partitions and I used a program to do it got C: where my windows is and E
    now when I start the laptop it try to find a windows on E and dont run anything and I can use my laptop now, do I have to re-install it or I can make it find the windows on that is installed on C

    Oh, and I can accesse "Startup repair" System restore"(noth not working) Command Prompt

    You may have marked the E partition active which derailed the Win7 boot.

    Boot the Win7 DVD Repair console or Repair CD, click through to recovery tools list to open a Command Prompt, type:

    DISKPART
    LIST DISK
    SELECT DISK # (replace # with Win7 HD # from LIST)
    LIST PARTITION
    SELECT PARTITION # (replace # with Win7 partition # judged by size from LIST)
    ACTIVE
    EXIT

    Now return to Reccovery Tools list to run Startup Repair up to 3 separate times with reboots as it will repair the System MBR on C partition.

    Let us know how this works as there are other fixes to be tried.
