Will that do???
Boot Device \Device\HarddiskVolume2 I think this should say Volume1
I had posted something earlier about the Boot Record, but I deleted it as I dont know if this might be the cause.
Can someone advise?
One user had his finger on it when he said Startup Repair.
First, unplug the USB drive, then mark your Windows partition as active.
Then run a startup repair.
That should do the trick.
Thorsen,
I've not had this particular problem (oh yes, your are correct -that points to the wrong drive and is the source of the problem), however,
CREATE A SYSTEM REPAIR DISK
START | type System Repair | Enter key | Create Disk button
After making the system repair disk, then a boot from the system repair disk and choosing the system repair option should get there. I don't have my repair disk with me right now the go thru the step-by-step.
Fixing the problem may require repeating the repair several times.
Jonathan,
Thanks. Forgot to mention marking the partition as active.
:) it seems we are all on the right track I just dont know enough yet to say full-speed ahead. thanks for adding in guys
I think part of the problem on this case is that this is a net-top and has no internal DVD drive. so when 7 was installed it said the external drive was the boot device I guess.
