Hello,
1TB Hard drive - Windows 7\Windows 2000 Dual Boot
2TB Hard drive - Storage
150 GB Hard drive - Windows 8
150 GB Hard drive - Fresh format, still has system restore partition from previous owner
I was given two VelociRaptor hard drives and formatted both of them inside Windows 7. One had a system restore partition that I was hoping would go away with the format but didn't. I used the one that didn't have the extra partition to install Windows 8 on.
I only did the Dual Boot Windows 7\2000 for fun and I actually want to remove 2000 but haven't yet as I read there is more to it than just deleting the partition. I was just holding it off for now.
So I placed the VelociRaptor in Sata 1 and unplugged the Windows 7\2000 hard drive to install Windows 8. Installation went great and after it was done, I shut down and plugged the Windows 7 hard drive back in but now I can't boot into Windows 8. Booting into Windows 7\2000 still works fine.
I get the error that says the Windows Boot Configuration Data is missing when trying to boot from the Windows 8 hard drive.
Thanks in advance
