I mean, . . I would think that my desk top will restart and boot from my C; Drive,

since I have never done this I would like to affirm that this is going to work,

I can not find any information on this from the help file here.

I'd hate for this to get firtzy after the restart.

I did say I would have the Drive out but as of now it is still in the Desktop, . .

The steps are followed however to apply all of the four (4), steps, I believe
the system must reboot, if I reboot the system with two Promary Hdd,
will I have a problem.

It is possible this is the reason you asking me to, "go ahead a load the HDD into the Ex-Enclosure", . . but still if I were to reboot the system will instantly re-start
Will there be a problem ?

If you still have the slave drive inside the desktop, you can go ahead and do the steps I gave. When you reboot, simply make sure that in the BIOS the hard drive that you want to boot off of is first in the boot list. It will ignore the slave drive, and you should have no problems booting into your main OS. :huh:

OK, Fine, I have not changed the BIOS, I did not specify any change in the EASEUS program, therefore without shutting down to check the BIOS, I will reboot.

Thank you, . .

" Now, with the Windows 7 install disk inside your optical drive (not the Acer recovery disk!), open the WIN7 SETUP in one window and the optical drive in another window. Drag the files from the optical drive to the WIN7 SETUP drive and drop them there.

"Safely Remove" the external hard drive, and plug it into the netbook. Change the boot order in the BIOS to have the external hard drive at the top. You may have to "Save and exit" and re-enter the BIOS before the external HDD is recognized (then it would show up in the list and you can promote it to the top)."

"open the WIN7 SETUP in one window and the optical drive in another window".

I have the Win7 install disk in the optical drive and is open, . . .

"open the WIN7 SETUP in one window"

You are saying to drop them where ?

What is or where is the WIN7 SETUP ?

I just did not recognize the name or procedure, . .

OK, I did that and what I am getting from the ACER on boot is that the NTLDR is Missing. ? ?

Hehe, this is what I was afraid of. :huh:

Well, you can try deleting the Windows 7 setup files off the slave drive and copying the Acer recovery disk 1 files to it instead. You'll probably get the same booting error, but you'll never know until you try. :thumbup2:

If neither one works, you'll have to resort to one of the following: just have a non-booting netbook that collects dust (the simplest), buy an external ODD (costs $$$), or swap the hard drive out with one that has Windows 7 already installed (the most difficult).

There are programs out there that claim that they can create a bootable flash drive to install Windows, but I have tried multiple programs like this with no success.

Sorry that it took 8 pages to find out that there is no easy way to repair/reinstall. :huh:

Remember the Recovery Disc had nothing that could be read !

So it looks like an optical drive or a warranty.

In case this is it, . .

You have been a good guy I thank you much !

Best Wishes !

I was getting the same error (missing NTLDR) when I tried to boot XP on my netbook. Then I realized that I had an incorrect setting in the program I used to rename "Earlier version of Windows" to "Windows XP". It's fixed now (my solution is totally irrelevant to your problem, though).

But for yours, the only real hope is to get an external ODD. They're about $50.

Even though you couldn't see any files in the recovery disk, they are there. Booting off an ODD would be very simple and painless (as opposed to the hair pulling we have been doing).

Hope you can get it fixed. I hate to see a useless, non-booting computer. :huh:

You're welcome, by the way. :huh:

Yeah me to, I still have a Presario 1230 Notebook collecting dust, . .

Maybe another time, another post . .

I'll try a one or two more attempts, but I ready to call a local shop and check out the ODD.

Take it easy breezy !
