halo2surfer, I tried that too and it did not work. Thanks for the advice though. What I ended up doing was buying a new SSD for my laptop, then after I transferred all of the important data from the storage drive, I installed the storage drive back into my desktop. I then installed Windows onto the storage drive, and after it completed, I got a weird error message (can't remember exactly what it said). So I rebooted in attempt to restart the Windows installation, and to my surprise, a Boot Manager prompted me to select between 2 different Windows 7 installations. One of them was my old OS.
Long story short, I was able to get everything back to normal without any data loss :)
