yeah I even tried booting just the USB. It just pulled up a console of sorts and nothing happened. Currently running the setup.exe off it manually from my old hard drive and seeing if it works. Is there a way to move the system reserve to a different drive?

By chance did you format and install windows with another drive connected? Now its not? You boot manager is on the other drive.

 

Do not install windows with any other drives connected.

 

You can move the btmgr but its easier to just start over.

starting over at this point scares the shit out of me. I just reflashed bios and can finally launch my computer after about 8 hours of dealing with this. But yes I did install with other drives attached. System reserve is on my old drive still, and my old drive is now c drive.

If you have the installation disk or recovery media you can boot to that and run a few CMD lines in Command Prompt.

BOOTREC /fixboot

 

If that doesn't work then you can try 

BOOTREC /fixmbr

 

IF you need to reinstall windows, you would do that from the installation disk or if it's a prebuilt computer, the recovery partition on the HDD.

I tried to boot to the bootable USB I made however, it just seems as if it ignored it and went straight to the SSD regardless. Should I remove the other 2 HDDs now or try to get it to actually recognize it, then turn off and retry with them gone?
