Windows 7 x64 won't boot on a new HDD restored partition
My Old HDD crashed, it had windows 7 x64 on a D: logical drive with an extended partition.
My old HDD also had two other primary partitions one of which probably had some system/boot files etc,. I do not have a backup of these two primary partitions, however,
I do have a paragon backup of my logical drive D: extended partition.
I got me a new HDD, created a new NTFS primary partition with a drive letter C:. I then restoed the paragon backup of my windows D: drive on to this new primary C: partition.
Now, I am not able to boot windows 7.
Seems like I need to create a new system partition with boot files to be able to boot my Win 7. Not sure how to do this.
Would very much appreciate any help... I dont want to install windows 7 from scratch and then load all the software programs.
