Hi I'm in need of some help/advice I'm installing a third drive and getting insert system disc error. A copy of the disc management attached.do I need to move the 100meg boot partition to the c drive as I think its on the I drive but I'm unsure.I am replacing the I drive with a 3tb drive.
To have a 3tb boot drive you will need install in UEFI mode.
How to install Windows 64 bit on a uEFI/BIOS firmware:
UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) - Install Windows 7 with
Also you have your boot files on Disk 1 & OS on Disk 2.
yes that's the problem I wish to replace disc 1 with a 3tb drive, the OS is on a SSD drive I want to keep.
Is it possible to move the BMR to the c drive with Easybcd and is it advisable
I bought the computer with windows 7 installed on the SSD, it looks like they fitted the storage drive before windows 7 installation and the mbr was put on the storage drive.
Well you would need a Windows 7 install dvd or you need to create a startup repair disc/cd
Mark the ssd active, then unplug the 2 hard drives and then run startup repair, up to 3 times.
Partition - Mark as Active
System Repair Disc - Create
Startup Repair
Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times
What would happen if I made a image with Acronis of the c drive / 100mb system reserve. unplugged all except the SSD drive and used the image file to restore?
I don`t think you can make an image of 2 things on separate drives.
But it still wouldn`t be right.
I would just unplug everything but the ssd and try to get it booting on it`s own.
All the links are above.
And where are you gonna store the image ?
I was thinking reinstall 7 on the ssd with no other drives attached then add a second drive with the image just a thought. I will do the repair at the weekend thanks for all the reply's.
