NTLDR is missing
I had Widows 7 on a dual boot hard drive. I wanted to put it on a separate hard drive. I made an image if the partition it was on. I restored the image to a different hard drive. When I tried to boot it I get this message:
NTLDR is missing
Press Ctrl Alt Del to Restart
Needless to say pressing Ctrl At Del just gets me back to the same place.
What did I do wrong?
I have since run Windows 7 repair and now I just get a blinking cursor
Have you tried the Repair feature on the Win 7 installation dvd?
"I have since run Windows 7 repair and now I just get a blinking cursor"
This is from my original post.
