Problem finding boot drive?

[ekuest]

i had 2 drives plugged in, each with Win7. one had professional and one had ultimate. i finally copied all my old files from the drive with pro over to my ult and turned the computer off, and unplugged the old drive, and put the new one with ult in sata1. now it wont boot, saying theres is no bootable media or whatever. ive tried all the different ports, but it always says that there is no hard drive detected at startup, even though it clearly detects the drive in the BIOS. can anyone help me with this? do i need to do a fresh install of windows? it seems like just moving the same boot drive to another sata port shouldnt make it stop working.

Find your boot options in the BIOS and tell it to use that new drive as the first boot source. It's probably looking for the old drives boot sector.

You may need to pop the W7 disk in and do a "start-up issue repair" (Not install on top of itself.) after the BIOS deal, maybe not.
