Deleted System parition can't boot
Ok so I have tried or I think I have tired all the fixboot , mbr and things of that nature to get my system backup but no luck.
Here is what happened to me, I had windows 7 installed on a SATA HDD. I bought an SSD and installed a fresh copy of windows 7 on the SSD. then I took out the SATA harddrive which I learned it contained the system parition. Now the new windows doesnt boot.
If I open diskpart and do a LIST VOL I only get one which is the SSD and inside I only have one partition with the windows files.
After a few comamnd I was able to see the installation when I start the recovery console. but when boot up. as soon as the little cicles for the windows logo comes up it freezes and reboots.
I tried making the volume parition active, but from what I have read, looks like I need to create a system parition.
Is that possible. or do I have to reinstall from scrtach. (the old SATA drive is formated so no going back)
Its just so close, i see my data intact on the drive lol but cant get windows to boot.
