Hi there, I had both XP and 7 installed on my PC, the XP was on an old 500GB drive I wanted to put into my GF PC, so I pulled it out, but it seems the boot manager was on that particular drive.
I no longer get the option which OS to boot, XP was on the 500GB drive but the 7 is on a new drive, and since there is no boot manager It is unable to boot the OS.
Funny thing, when I installed that HDD in the other machine, it offered to boot either XP or 7, with no OS actually installed, hence the boot manager was indeed on that disk.
I tried to insert the W7 installation disk and performed a STARTUP REPAIR, however it fixed nothing...
How do I restore or reinstall the boot manager so I can boot my windows 7 installation?
