Cannot boot

[kaylexmorgana]

I keep getting the insert windows disc etc.

Now before you ask the same generic questions I have read online let's go over them:

It happened because I deleted some worthless partitions on ANOTHER DRIVE and for some reason it needs this drive to boot?

I got it to work somehow but when I turned it off again it stopped and this time I cannot get it go back.

I have windows 8 as my other OS I used on a old Laptop and that didn't work either since I deleted partitions off THAT HDD as well so I burned a Recovery disc and was able to boot it up and then W7 just worked out of nowhere?

I tried W7 recovery disc.

I tried W7 disc.

so do not ask.

No virus etc

NOTHING is wrong with the bios and startup etc etc.

Computer is completely new including the SSD booting the OS.

I took one for the team and tried to use a windows 8 disc at boot and in windows but it wanted to Delete all my data so I said forget it.

I tried bootrec and it said it did replace mbr but nothing

I used diskpart and it did say it replaced it but still nothing

And it gets stranger,

If I f12 and pick the windows 7 drive directly I get the insert media disc etc etc

BUT if if I let windows 8 boot up and let it give 2 choices it gives me blue screen

Now I only looked at it twice

Ntfs.sys

Then 0x0000007e

I can usually fix pcs since I break them a lot but this makes no sense I did not do ANYTHING to the c drive

Oh and check disc doesn't work keeps saying I don't have permission despite me already going to properties and takes admin FULL control over it etc

And as above, I would really like to keep my data....

Last thing I can thing of which I doubt would work is I was gonna have my friend give me a copy of his ntfs files and I will put them in there

Windows will occasionally spread installation files out over multiple drives if there is more than one present on install. If this was the case, you may have deleted some very important files and such an error is generally difficult to recover from. It is a best practice to only have the target drive installed during installation. I hate to say it, but a fresh start may be the only option. Plug the drives into a different computer and pull whatever data you need, then do a low-level (uncheck the quick format box) format of the drives using another system. Before reinstallation, I'd recommend clearing your motherboard's CMOS in order to completly purge windows. There may be a button somwhere on the board to do this, but if there's not just pull out the battery. If that doesn't do the trick, I don't know what will.

This usually happen when:  You had an old drive, bought a new drive and connected it in one of the free Sata ports, then installed windows with both drives connected, since the old drive was in a earlier slot, windows assigns some of the boot data to it, then puts the rest on the drive you selected as boot drive.

 

And that is why you deleted the boot partition when you deleted that disc you were not using.

 

Next time you install windows, unplug all the drives that are not the boot drive, finish installing and then plug the other drives back in.
