win7 boot menu points to missing drive. no entry for active drive.
the working computer won't boot now and i did it. i am to blame. i'm just trying to recover this for a relative to use...
yesterday - working configuration with linux on 1 ssd & win7 on hhd using windows boot menu. linux ssd removed and pc booted into win7 via boot menu.
today - needed to remove linux entry on boot menu. somehow wound up removing win7 entry & then setting boot time to 0. so computer now attempts to boot to non-existent linux ssd. there's no win7 rescue dvd & no boot thumb drive anywhere to be found.
i have a win10 box & can make a boot from thumb to get to the hdd. but how can i fix this pc without wiping it? will a win10 boot thumb drive fdisk /mbr do the trick on the hdd?
thanks so much.
