Anything else?

Thanks so far.

Where is the

Win 7 system partition

is it on another HD? Do you mean you have a 100mb System reserved partition ?

If you only have the C 7 partition and it is marked Active , and is the first HD in Bios boot order , type:

cd /d c:\windows\system32

bcdboot c:\windows /s c:

lis vol
Volume 0, 1 and 2. Letters E, C and D.
Windows 7 is letter C (Volume 1)

Note: I have 2 HD. One 70GB Raptor and one 1TB disk. The Windows 7 is on the first disk, alone.

I starting to hate Windows, nothing works, all those Win 7 DVD tools are crapp as hell.

Im at the limit.

Is the HD containing the 7 partition FIRST hd in bios boot order. If it marked ACTIVE as well, the commands should work.

Don't give up too soon, the problem with this is determining which drive is the primary drive and where the system boot files are. If there was a picture of your disk management, it would be much easier, but since you can't get one, another method has to be used.

I have finally learned pretty much how to check the disk management, but still working on understanding the command line results.

I have gotten where I look for bootmgr when dealing with Win 7 and ntldr if dealing with XP. Those files may help show which drive is the primary, but even that can be misleading. If you have both on one partition, that is probalby the system partition.
