    Stymied during Repair using W7 Installation Disk!


    I have used it before with limited success.
    Some things it could fix, others it couldn't.

    This time, I know Stymie is alive and well into my brain or what's left of it.

    I set the BIOS to boot from an External USB attached Drive.
    It failed to BOOT and requested repair.
    Problem is, how does one aim the repair at an External USB attached Drive when using the W7 Installation Disk?

    I'll attach it Internally via SATA as a second internal drive.
    After booting from the Windows-7 Pro 64B C:\ Drive, how might I repair it if possible?

    If you have several win7 installations it will get confused. That is why only the sick disk should be attached via sata .

    boot recovery/installation media go to recovery options and try startup repair

    Still sorting things out.

    My PC situation is fragile right now.

    I will be giving it a try later today.
