    I'm sorry, I feel really stupid but I have searched that page up and down and while I see a huge list of utilities I don't see where to download this disk image

    Click on only this link toward the bottom of the Download page. The rest are for others.

    Is this what we are looking for? I don't see my SATA drive listed here. Are there drivers that need to be loaded to see it?

    I don't know why the 2.2tb is labeled External because it is installed into the computer, correct?

    But the problem with DISK1 is clear as it says it is GPT formatted. This would require it to be installed using EFI Boot disk set first in BIOS setup: UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) - Install Windows 7 with - Windows 7 Forums

    What I would do instead is unplug the other HD, convert the GPT disk to MBR using Diskpart from booted Win7 installer Command Line accessing DISKPART At PC Startup: Convert GPT Disk to MBR Disk

    Then close Command Box, click Install Now, at drive selection screen click Next to auto-create and -format, begin install.

    The disk listed as C: is in fact an external disk. I'm not sure why it is designated as C:

    It is divided in 1/2 (Ubuntu 12.04 on one partition and a Win 7 back up image plus some other windows folders on the other)

    So I'm clear then.. is my current Win 7 install totally fubar? No amount of boot repairing is going to get me back into it? I see in the photo as well it says GPT format and I don't really know how that happened. That's not how I had it formatted (to my knowledge) when I first installed Win 7 on this disk 6 months ago.

    In order to repair DISK0 Win7 it would have to have the EFI boot partition and the 100mb System Reserved partitions which somehow went away. Did you do anything to change them?

    Just to double-check can you post up a screenshot of your maximized Disk Management map in the mini-XP by rightclicking Computer and choosing Manage?

    You can rightclick on the DISK1 partition in both XP Disk Mgmt and Partition Wizard to Explore the disk to see if you see any files.

    If so you can copy out to external your files: Copy & Paste - in Windows Recovery Console

    I didn't knowingly delete any partitions on that drive but it's possible I guess that the Linux tool Boot-repair did.
