BOOTMGR Missing question
So I have a single HDD.
About a year ago this was split into 2 separate partitions, 50/50
On Partition C: I have my primary Windows 7 Home installed...
On Partition D: I have an older version of Windows, that 7 replaced... I just kept the old one so I would not lose important data, etc... and just kept it longer then I should have. I finally decided to get rid of it, and merge the partitions...
Only problem is that I accidently left D: set as the Active Partition and thus it could not be deleted/formated/etc...
So, I thought. "ok, make C: the active partition!" so I did. Reboot...
BOOTMGR is missing.
Ok, well fine... at least its not the end of the world and data is not lost. I've been there before...
I just need to restore the BOOTMGR on the correct partition.... and I want to be sure I do it correctly.
I do have my original Win7 Home installation DVD; and I am presuming that I can fix this problem with that disc?
Can someone guide me on the proper process so I do it correctly and don't accidentally cause a "reinstall a fresh new copy/wipe out all my stuff/cause the world to blow up/etc" type of mistake?
