Unable to repair Windows 7 after hardware upgrade

Thanks again for the suggestion of Paragon. I bought Backup & Recovery Suite and it WORKED to get Win7 booting again! Nice!

Great - glad it worked for you.

Thanks for the update.

Turns out it wasn't all roses though. The older hardware I had to move the drive to ended up not having video drivers for Win7. Ugh. And whatever Paragon did to make it bootable also caused Windows to need to re-activate. Maybe that was just due to the significant hardware changes though? BB

Yes, that is windows sensing the new hardware - you need a windows product key that allows use on another machine

Yeah. But since it is an Enterprise install I need to track down the master product key with the IT folks, which is always entertaining. BB
