Hey guys, I have 2 Win7 installs on my PC (one on SSD, one on HDD). The one on the HDD holds the MBR and other boot files, and I want to move or set the MBR on my SSD so I can format my old HDD. However when I use my Win7x64 CD to repair, I get no OSs showing up here:
(screenshot from your MBR tutorial)
Basically what I am trying to do is unplug all but my SSD and use a Windows 7 CD to add the MBR to the SSD, however the repair CD does not recognize the OS on my SSD (or the HDD for that matter), so I am unable to use the repair CD to add the MBR.
What else I have tried:
I tried the commandline Saltgrass told someone to use here: Delete active system partition - Windows Forums[2] to manually add boot files to the C: drive and that didn't work either.
Here is my Drive layout in case it helps:
The 746gb unallocated is managed by SeaGate DiscWizard as it's a 3TB HDD which my Motherboard/OS does not support.
