Boot Failed error at windows 7 startup
guys,
I cloned a previous hdd that had startup problems to a new hdd b'cos of bad sectors. They new hdd did not work either so I did a clean install afterwards. during the clean install, the installation will not let me delete a small partition (1.44GB) that was supposedly reserved by the system (I found out later that this probably have some boot info -the result of my previous cloning).
Now my issue after the clean is that an "Boot failed..." error message appears just before Windows starts. I cannot even pause it to read all the message b'cos it's so fast. Nevertheless, Windows starts alright and I am able to do everything afterwards. How do I clear this message? When I deleted this small partition, windows failed to start so I restored it. I have attached an image of the disk partition. Thank you.
