Hi all, my one 500gb Seagate Hdd seems to have crashed...funny i can see it in the bios but it does not apear in windows when i want to manage my hdd's. Another thing, it seems that my boot partition was on that drive, what is weird is when i remove the crashed hdd then i cant boot, my windows is on another HDD...is there any any any way i can recover that partion? Or just move the boot partition, since i dont want to format...again :/
 
A repair install with just the one drive (with windows) installed might fix the boot loader problem. Make sure you have your data backed up first.

There are ways to move the boot loader, but you didn't specify your OS. Just google moving boot loader.
