Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a customers computer that had required a Vista reinstall. He seems to be quite a music enthusiast, as the Windows Easy Transfer backup came in at over 300 Gb. When reinstalling, I thought it best, quickest and safest to save his backup in a separate partition. This all worked well, Vista reinstalled and backups returned to their proper place.
The now-excess backup partition (being over 300Gb on a 1tb drive) I had decided to delete and expand the Windows partition onto. This I did with Partition Wizard. However, now the system wont boot, giving a 0x0000007B error.
So far I have tried bootrec in all it's forms, a 3/3 chkdsk, the regular startup repair and a system restore through the Windows Disk, but so far nothing has worked. Safemode also doesn't work. The drive is in full working order and files can be accessed through MiniXP.
My next port of call would be to do a Chkdsk /r, but I really wouldn't have the time to mess around with this if it wasn't the last available option.
Would anybody happen to have any ideas? Perhaps I am forgetting something simple!
Any help is much appreciated,
Darran.
