Posted May 15, 2014 Hi guys, I had 2 HDD's installed when I installed Windows, I detached and formatted one HDD to install the new SSD, however the System is not booting anymore Windows 7 (64bit). So I googled some problems and found out, that the bootsector from Windows 7 is always installed on the HDD/SSD which is plugged into the first SATA port on the Motherboard; so my bootsector (or whatever ?) got deleted from the second non-system HDD which the System HDD needed to boot up. Does anybody know how I can fix thix without a repair disc, because the "repair disk" on my USB stick (ISO to USB) doesn't support my System, even though it is exactly the same OS. WIN 7 ULT (64) I don't want to buy a new licence either because that wouldn't be fair -.- I have a spare laptop with Windows 7 up and running and my System HDD attached to my laptop via USB; can I fix this ? Or can I export all windows programms and user settings ? Huge thanks for taking some time !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 15, 2014 format everything, and re-install. you cant harm the hdd by formatting it (think thats what u meant or something) Anyways, if everything is from scratch, then you can just install like normal. if u got stuffs on ur hdd that u want, copy them onto ur laptop and then format it My Car: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/274320-the-long-awaited-car-thread/?p=4442206 CPU: i5 4590 |Motherboard: ASRock H97M PRO4|Memory: Corsair Vengance 8gbs|Storage: WD Caviar Blue 1TB|GPU: ZOTAC GTX 760 2gb|PSU: Thermaltech TR2 500W|Monitors: LG24M35 24" & Dual 19"|Mouse:Razer DeathAdder 2013 with SteelSeries Qck mini|Keyboard: Ducky DK2087 Zero MX Red|Headset: HyperX Cloud|Cooling: Corsair 120mm blue LED, Lepa vortex 120mm, stock 120mm|Case:Enermax Ostrog Blue Windowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
