dual boot drives - one crashed
OK, a long time ago I installed another drive in my computer so I could boot to XP (the original OS) or to Windows 7. Well, the XP drive crashed and that had the boot loader on it. I am not concerned (much) with what was on the XP drive, but it would be nice to make the Win 7 bootable now that the other drive is dead. Can I just replace the boot files on the Win 7 drive and have it boot properly? I would really, really like to avoid reinstalling all the stuff on the Win 7 drive.
So, XP boots on 320GB drive and later install 500GB drive for Win 7 and years later the 320GB drive is dead and no boot.
I am assuming all the info is on the Win 7 drive but since the boot loader is on the other drive it needs replaced.
