Or if there is another option.. My C: drive is corrupted. Tired of problems.. Thank for any input.
i followed your first link in post #37 to "resetting the BCD..." you stated "it was 'odd' they didn't tell you to rebuild the..."

This is incorrect, as is the statement that it is the Active partition which signifies where the boot manager is located. It is the System flag which determines this. The active flag only points to the partition we want to hold the boot manager. It may not be moved there yet, or may be marked Active in error. In order to move it fully it requires running Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times or moving with EasyBCD per your tutorial Bootmgr - Move to C:\ with EasyBCD - Windows 7 Forums
Thanks Greg for correcting that. I guess I was not looking into the details. I missed the second active partition.
No prob, Wolfgang. It also needs to be changed in the tutorial's first sentence:
There may be several Active partitions on multi-disk systems. There are often errant partitions marked "Active." Yet the sole role of the System label is to show us the partition which is booting Win7.Open Disk Management and find the partition that is marked "active". That is the partition that contains the bootmgr.

Thanks Derek I found it on TenForums too
But thanks for the instructions I was wondering about the registering bit too
Cheers.
