help with restore on new hard drive
hi all,
running windows 7 prem x64
it like this my dell inspiron hard drive goes to missing mbr cant boot.
i take out hard drive (but do not fix missing mbr) do a hdd regen (it has bad sectors) then i make a copy image. (still able to get in to old hd if plug into another computer.)
i install windows on new hd then take out plug into another computer and copy image over.
put copy image hd in and it just blinks at me.
ok back to square one format hd.
should i install windows again then copy image over or do it another way also doing it the way i did, what did i do wrong and how to fix it also if you can ??
thanks for your help and insight.
