Ok mate first some system specs please because I cannot tell how many drives you have or what is connected up when you do the install. If I see correctly there seems to be a some large storage somewhere with a heap of TV stuff on them.

Ok that is LOT of drives my friend - have you tried installing with only the boot drive connected? If not it is worth a shot or at least that is what I would be doing.

How would that salve my problem ?
Millions of people have more then 10 drives
Some have them with raid either software or hardware
So hard to believe that ?

Also so many systems sold with so many drives
For backup and so on

My point is I am not sure why I am getting this issue
And how to fix it

Thanks

Also if I restart pc then every thing is fine
This happens after

Ok why I said to install the OS with just the boot "C:" drive in is because there would be no extraneous devices that may interfere with the install, I wasn't trying to be a wise guy or suchlike, just those things do happen. Plus to try it is just a way of eliminating any possible cause.
But if you say that the install went ok and this only happens after the system is up and running well you can start by running these if you have not already.

Oh and if this doesn't work then try downloading the Partition Wizard and opening it up to view the drives http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html

Ok lets take a look at this NTLDR > NTLDR - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia it seems like the drives have all got this on them which from the text means that the boot loader is on all the drives. Now I stand to be corrected again but I still think having all those drives hooked up when you were installing is probably the cause of the problem.
If you only have one drive hooked up when installing then the OS can only be loaded to that drive. I am not trying to be smart here but does that makes sense or not?
I know it is wretched pain to disconnect all those drives but it might just solve the problem.

First, it is very rare for someone to have 10 drives in a PC unless you are Google or someone. Second an OS can become corrupted which a clean install will correct. Third I recommend you do all the tests ICit2lol recommended.

Hello Guys,

Thank you very very much in advance and sorry if i sounded rude or anything like that but want to clear few things so you guys have an idea of what is going on here

I am beta Tester with Media Browser 3 and i have Home server with over 24TB system which is very usual with users with center media center pc's HTPC. I have converted eveything i have since 2000 into digital format as i am huge media fan and i have MediaBrowser3 server and Plex server and ITunes library and family photos and family videos and so on now you guys get the idea

My system is very normal comparing to people who have 48 to 60 TB Home server

Now I never install OS on my server pc or any other pc while other drives are connected so want to be clear about
i lost few drives and i was able to recover data out of them and rma them and get replacement drives but i run into a new issue which is the main issue i have now

at first when this happened i re-installed the pc with different SSD drive as i have 2 SSD just for the server

Then it happend again so i took my spare ssd CLEAR THE FIRMWARE AND then install fresh copy of windows 7 64bit and start over

5 months pass and i have 1 TB drive have bad sector so when i tried to move the files from to new drive i get error



So i took the drive out and then put it in extrnal bay and tried to run hirens boot cd to fix it but no luck so mybe i will try diffrent software to get all my data out

Going back to main issue now the issue happens out of no reason and it auto fix it self after restart the pc

Now because i have active scripts running and so much all my data are cross connected across all drives and make thing little completed all Clients for MediaBrowser3 are connected to the server such as ROKU

So i will do the test as your guys recommended but in few days as i need to fix issue with duplicate files and recover data off bad drive before it completely die on me

so going back to NTLDR i have no idea why it showing up on all my drives as i never installed OS while other drives where in the system

Please note i have antec df-85 and everything is on HOTSWAP bay


anyway i will run all test and try to get logs to see if i can fix this issue or if you guys can help

Thank you very much

Look mate we all get carried away it is and can be very frustrating sometimes. So lets go again and do what Britton has said mate he is a pretty cluey guy. I know I said it before but if we can get the OS working on one drive I think you said yo had an SSD it would be ideal for the boot drive to be honest and in some good order the other drives can be added and sorted as they are or at least that is how I would do it - tedious yes - worth it of course if it sorts the problems out.

Because of this NTLDR in Windows 7 I do believe this site could help.


Ntldr is missing error in windows 7 boot - Microsoft Community

It may help to if we could see disk management.
