Ok here's the problem:
1. I just put together a new pc I was building for a friend and I was just initiating the process of testing it out.
2. Said computer doesn't have a dvd drive.
3. About a month ago, I installed windows 8 on an extra SSD I had laying around on my default PC. This made my computer a dual boot machine. I kept Windows 7 as my default OS for my default pc, while I had win 8 set up for my friend.
4. I took the SSD in which I had Windows 8 installed and put it on the new computer. However, computer will not boot with it, giving me an error about missing boot files.
5. I took back the Windows SSD to my default machine. I went to msconfig and I stupidly deleted Windows 7 from the boot menu thinking that this might solve the problem.
6. Not only it didn't, but now I am unable to boot to Windows 7 on my main machine.
Therefore, I ve got two questions:
a. What is the easiest way to make my pc boot on Win 7 again?
b. Given that the new build doesn't have a dvd drive, how can i solve its boot problems?
Thanks
