I have 2 drives. I appear to have lost the Win7 MBR on drive zero as when I boot into drive zero I boot into an existing WinXP system but not the Win 7 one which I want.
(This may have been caused by my having previously installed Winxp on drive 1. The installer seeing an existing XP partition on drive zero linked to it, and set the mbr on drive zero to WinXP. I am surmising.)
I can however boot into the Win 7 on drive zero from my drive 1 (which has a Win7 MBR, bootmanager, BCD, etc). I find that the Win7 system in drive zero runs fine and Easybcd functions as expected. But I can't write the Win7 MBR on drive zero in order to be able to boot into Win7 directly from drive zero.I have tried using Easybcd from the Win7 drive zero and from the Win7 on drive 1.
There doesn't appear to be a way of specifying on which disk the mbr is to be created.
