You don't need a seprate system reserved partition, I don't have one.
You do need a system partition - it can be the same as the boot partition - it doesn't have to be separate for mbr partition style.

what i want is to unplug 2 hd's. then edit the boot so it boots to hard 2 and not 1. because windows installed the boot to the C drive (hard drive 1) or 0 on the cmd info. I say hard drive 2 b/c there are 3 hds plugged in to the card.
SI you think windows is going to let me rename my c drive to s? WHAT?
If you ever dealt with windows xp. theres a bit of code that tells windows to boot from partition(#). that is all i need to do. Is edit that.

This is why we use Startup Repair automated method which covers all unknown possiblities.
Reboot and tap the F8 key to access System Recovery Options
Run Startup Repair 3 times until Win7 writes the System boot files to the Active partition.
You may have to unplug DISK0 to keep it from placing Sys files there although it should write to the Active partition.
Try bcdboot c:\windows /s c:
otherwise, there is a long series of commands to do the job
F8 doesn't work for me (i am on my laptop). I first tapped f8 at the first boot screen. FAIL. then i kept pressing it till it passed my second bios screen. FAIL.
I am at BOOTMGR is missing
press crtl+atl+delete to restart.
Which HD is set first to boot in BIOS setup?
While there look at the SATA controller setting, whether you have the ability to default to onboard SATA so you can possibly boot the Repair CD.
Is this a Repair CD you've used before, as it should not prompt for drivers unless it's a bad ISO or burn.
