A boot problem ?

[wysiwyg]

Doing some partition work a few days ago, and somehow lost the boot for my main system.

D was my main system, as you can see it holds a lot of applications and information, "C" is a fresh install,

Question is can I get "D" to reboot, it doesn't show in msconfig/boot.

I know I can transfer bit by bit, but its a long winded job, I feel there must be a way to repair reboot.

Tried the system disc Repair mode, only shows system on "C".

2 hard discs, "C" and "F" on one drive "D"on the other.

What was first system installed?
It would be good to look at Disk management to see which drive has System partition against it.....
If it was D, you first system installed you need to make sure that, this particular is the first in your BIOS boot sequence.....

Hi,

Can you post jpeg screenshot of Disk Management Window please?

Do you have Vista on your first partition ( which I assume is D on your screenshot), or are they both Seven?

Thanks

what OS is stored in D:?

if it's Vista Ultimate 32bit as it's label declares, you could do the following:

1. Open CMD with administrator rights.

2. Type:

bcdedit /copy {current} /d "Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit"

You will get a line like :
The entry was successfully copied to {bf6ae6df-e5ba-11dd-b7e3-00218556b93a}.

Write down the {bf6ae6df-e5ba-11dd-b7e3-00218556b93a} you'll get, it's different than mine and you'll need it below.

bcdedit /set {your_stringnumber-from-above} device partition D:
bcdedit /set {your_stringnumber-from-above} osdevice partition D:

You're good. Now reboot and you will see an option for the second OS at boot time.
