Ok, short version: I have 2 partitions with windows 7 on my hd, one Im not able to boot into. How can I boot into it?
Long Version: Being annoyed with dual booting with XP and windows 7, I decided I want rid of xp. Look up tutorials on internet. Won't let me boot into Windows 7.
Run the start up utility on the windows 7 installation disc, takes me back to having xp and 7 again.
Get annoyed, load up gparted, delete xp partition, now it won't boot into 7 and says DISC BOOT ERROR, INSERT SYSTEM CD or something along those lines.
In the end, I get annoyed and just install windows 7 again on the old xp partition.
I don't really want to do a clean install of windows, is there anything I can do to merge the two? or to be able to boot back into the other installation?
