I have a HP laptop with dual hard drive slots. For several reasons I needed to start from scratch, so a new hard drive was put in my spare HD slot and had windows 7 pro installed just as the original old HD has.
Everything was fine and dandy on the newbie HD until I needed access to a program I had yet to install on the newbie. I restarted the PC from the old HD, did my work, and while traveling to the next site a few miles away I placed the laptop into hibernate mode to save battery.
When I hit the power button to get out of hibernate mode, the BIOS defaulted to start up the newbie HD. No big deal, so I just restarted the computer and selected the old HD again. This has somehow corrupted Windows 7 on the new HD. Since it was brand new, I hadn't created a system restore point yet. When the computer boots up on the new HD I get the black screen of death (BSOD or KSOD as it called now) with a curser.
I have tried every trick I can find on the web to get it fixed. System repair didn't fix it, check disk didnt't fix it, it can't boot up in safe mode, redoing the bootrec didn't fix it. My old HD still boots up and works fine, but the newbie HD is hosed. Any ideas? I can still see all the files on the newbie HD it and the hidden restore partition from the running OS on the old HD
Sadly I had our IT department put in another new HD and got the laptop ready for me, in which case I got in a hurry and did the same stupid hibernate thing again
!!!! The windows 7 is corrupt again. Any ideas on how to fix this other than reinstalling windows for the third time?
