you cant boot windows with an external drive


I suggest you buy another drive, load windows on the new drive / set jumpers as master >>>>> set old drive as slave

then install windows


hopefully once you are booting windows with the new drive you can get your data off the old drive ?

you chances are 70 / 30 the 30% is the success of data recovery


hence the age old nagging expression : back-up back-up back-up
