To complete the drama loop, here's where I am now... I did another restore from F: to C: and once again had a working Win7 on C: The only problem is that all software, including the user profiles still referenced F: as the source. So even though booting to Win7 from C: worked, all the pointers...

Help - now I'm stuck! Unoftunately, this did not go according to plan. I did as discussed --- restored the F: partition to C: as active, ran the startup repair 3x, and the system booted fine into the new C: (Win7) parition. Both boot configs got marked as '(recovered)' in MSCONFIG -- I...

Thanks -- I actually used GParted to create the paritions in the first place. That basically sums up what I wanted to do, but thought someone had some experience and could save me some time :). I probably would not have done it in 2 steps, so that for that as well. Experimentaiton awaits!
