Will try to make this as short as the 7 hour story can be.
Secondary HDD started dying a few days back (music and software on HDD lags, League of Legends probably boots for more than 10 mins etc.) and my mobo's S.M.A.R.T started alerting me about it too. Moving 5-10 GB music from the HDD to USB Drive took 9 hours.
I bought an SSD to become my new secondary drive (another SSD has windows installed on it.) When I came home from work I switched the HDD up with the new SSD and after that "Bootmgr is missing" ??? Windows is installed on a totally other SSD though!
I pop my Win 7 CD in to reinstall the whole OS but "The file is possibly corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum."
I switched my both RAM sticks in the both main RAM slots individually without results. I did a BIOS CMOS reset without results. I removed my GPU without results.
Someone on some forum said my HDD might have the file(s) that point my computer to the boot files on my SSD and that might be the problem. Too bad my HDD currently is good for nothing.
I started making a windows 7 bootable USB on my laptop (which I currently type on) while running Hiren's Boot CD on my PC. I tried to fix the MBR with FixMbr and an another program but have no results.
When my Win7 USB drive finished I plugged it in and went to boot from it, but got "Bootmgr is missing" which is weird. I tried to boot from Hiren's boot CD again and got "Bootmgr is missing" as well. My Win10 Laptop did not recognize either of these USB drives after that, even though it did make a sound and tell me that a USB drive has been plugged in.
I got my Win7 USB recognized on my laptop after uninstalling it from device manager and scanning for hardware changes, but this did not work for Hiren's Boot CD!
Still badly stuck with my PC.
What can I do? What could be wrong?
