I have HP elitebook 2450p bought second hand and downgraded to windows 7 couple years ago. Recently tried to create a bootable partition in hard drive. It is slightly less than 5 GB. Unfortunately made it active before putting in the unzipped version of the win7-64bit iso. Naturally does not boot anymore. But I create4d bootable dvd and changed boot sequence to boot from dvd as first choice but this did not cause to boot. No change at all.
Why no change? I thought the muck up would be corrected if I booted from DVD which has happened before . Is the BIOS on the active partition which also has the boot files? Is there a way to open the partitions with a partition manager so I can make the correct partition the active one again. Silly question though, because some form of boot is required?? either from the dvd or usb and if that wont happen what can a partition manager do? There is a setting to reset bios to default and says my data will be wiped. Should I disconnect hard drive and save data. I am so confused please help
