Hello,
I had started my PC yesterday and got a windows screen telling me that windows was unable to start. I let it try to repair itself, but got impatient and forced the computer off during repair. I took the opportunity to swap out my small SSD for a larger one and also add a HDD for a total of 4 HDD's with still only 1 SSD for a total of 5 drives. Now I get black screen on boot that says it cannot find windows boot manager. I inserted the windows install disc and tried to repair with no success. I used the disc to find the windows OS and it was unable to find it. However, still using the install disc, I searched for a HDD driver on my main C:/ and was able to see everything on my HDD (which tells me the HDD isn't bad). What is my next step?
(By the way I will be moving my OS and programs to my new SSD, so should I just install a fresh copy of Window's on it and move everything and not worry about this?)
