How to move MBR to different Partition?

[sdw123]

Hi, 

 

I'm having 2 Hard Disks. (I'll say "C" for Disk 1 and "D" for Disk 2 from now) And I installed Fresh Win 10 over a years ago.So I don't remember what was the reason. But This is the situation.

 

There is 2 Windows version when booting.But only one is booting properly.So the 'working windows files' are in C disk but the 'damaged windows files and the MBR' is in D drive.

 

But I have to replace the D drive now.(without reinstalling / formatting Disk C) I can't simply unplug D because MBR is in D.But all windows files are in C.

 

Is there are a way to copy just the MBR to C?

You can't copy the MBR but you should be able to use the Windows installer to repair the MBR and put it on the C drive.

Pull out D, leaving just C, and insert the installer and select repair.

No, doing the repair will just check and repair anything that's damaged or missing so all the settings, files, etc. will be untouched.

It didn't worked bro.When I select "start up repair" then it to through diagnosing then attempting repair and restart.But nothing changes. When I select "reset" it says disk is locked.Unlock it and continue or something.
