I have installed Windows 7 from my hard drive (E:\). Now I have a small problem, the boot sector (or something like that) is located in E:\, I want to move it to C:\. Moreover there is two options in the bootscreen: Windows 7 and install Windows 7 RC. How I will remove the secon option?

Thaks in advance.

you can use tools such as EasyBCD edit or VistaBootPro to fix that pretty easily. If you don't want to mess with command line.

You might be able to use the Windows 7 DVD to repair it, but I've not had as much luck with it. Be careful because the automated repair certainly does not fix everything I've come across.

All of my systems still run fastest on XP 32-bit for the most part. Win7 is fun to play with, but I still prefer XP for raw speed, security, and functionality.
Hi

I assume you want to make C the System partition.

In this case it is probably easier to get Easybcd as it contains bootsect.exe and MbrFix.exe in the bin folder.

1. Download from here and install it :

http://neosmart.net/downloads/software/EasyBCD/EasyBCD 1.7.2.exe

here is the home page: Download EasyBCD 1.7.2 - NeoSmart Technologies

2. Go to Folder Options and make sure Hidden Files and protected operating system files are showing.

Copy and paste bootmgr and the pale yellow Boot folder from E to C.

It won't let you copy bcd as it is in use - skip that and copy the rest.

3. Open the Easybcd command prompt (they call it power console)

PowerConsole-2-2009-06-22_230445.jpg

AT the prompt ( this bit > ), type the following commands - Press Enter after each command ( or copy and paste these if it is easier) :

bootsect.exe /nt60 all /force

mbrfix.exe /drive 0 fixmbr /vista /yes

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device boot

bcdedit /export C:\Boot\BCD

exit
