Hey guys,
I'm really in a bind now. I have windows 7 on my laptop and recently I installed a 320GB harddrive. Everything was working fine. I installed daemon tools a few weeks ago, and when I restarted it wouldn't let me boot, but choosing the option "last known good configuration" from the F8 menu worked like a charm. I uninstalled Daemon Tools.
Today I go to restart from hibernate and get an error. Restart, and the same old boot manager problem pops up. As soon as W7 starts to load I get a black screen from the boot manager saying booting failed due to missing or inacessible device. Only this time, last known good configuration doesn't work. I'm speculating that the boot information was moved somewhere away from the beginning of the drive (BIOS only recognizes first 137GB). Could this be it?? I recently did a cypher command to wipe empty space and lots of stuff could have moved around. This was my first time restarting since.
Please help!! I don't wanna have to reinstall windows. In the worst case scenario that I do have to reinstall, will it just fix it or will all my settings (and programs?) be wiped!?
