Hi there, first time posting since I always managed to find the information I needed usually, but not this time.
My problem began when I received my first SSD today in the post. I installed Windows 7 on it whilst booted into my current drive and 2tb storage drive connected (stupid I know, but I forgot that's not good).
I was booted into the SSD, doing updates etc when I accessed Disk Management and noticed the word 'System' (usually in the string of words going 'Boot, System, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition etc) was on my old HDD but not my new SSD.
I was searching for a way to correct this. Then restarted my pc to finish the updates just to get them out of the way. When I encountered the error 'BOOTMGR MISSING. PRESS CTRL, ALT, DEL TO RESTART'. I did restart it by doing what it said but it happened again. So I went into my BIOS and changed it from IDE to AHCI, to no avail.
Now the major problem with trying to fix this is that the keyboard now doesn't want to work on boot, so I am stuck between first turning on the PC and the screen with the error.
I can't boot from my USB with Windows 7 on it because I can't press F10 to choose what to boot from.
Can anyone please help me with this situation, I can't think of what on earth I should do.
Thank you,
