Cannot reinstall Windows from BKP

[soldano]

I lost my first HD which had 3 partitions, one with Win XP, one with Win 7 64 and one with aplications.- My second HD is OK.- I managed my dual booting with EasyBCD, and the first booting OS was Win 7.--
As I saved in my second HD a BKP Image of my Win 7 C. partition made with the Acronis program, I restored that partition on a new HD, but I couldnt make it boot.-
I tried the repair option of the Win 7 installation CD, but no way.- The repair info showed that some problems with the boot files and managers were repaired.-
I think there is a conflict due to my former dual booting configuration, which the Win 7 Bkp image kept saved, and the new situation were the XP partition is no more present.
Is there a way to fix it ?
Thanks

I quit using imagers 10 years ago
Images are proprietary and dif for every vendor- you can only use acronis sw to make or replace its image
The image may be compressed - adding another fail factor
Images for an O/S partition within a multiboot do not bring with them partition tables, MBR's (both copies), MFT's, hiddens etc.
Its just an image - like a picture that takes up a block of space on the HDD
Worst of all, you cant tell if i works unless you use it
Thats why I graduated to CLONERS.
And the best cloner is Casper V 6.0 (Win 7 compliant X64 X86)
Clone is a bit for bit copy of original - everything
I can clone a 640GB WDC black quadboot in about 1hr 22min
Then all I have to do is switch boot order in bios and I cant tell any difference between either
Another trick is to make only primaries (4 max per HDD) - no extended holding logicals
Keeps drive letters in order on both

Having said that, the first thing to try is download gparted 0.5.2-1
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpa...les/0.5.2-1/gparted-live-0.5.2-1.iso/download
Latest is 0.6.0-1 but it is not stable for me for some reason
Burn it to CD and boot to it
Heres a tutorial (pics)
http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html
Highlight the O/S partition and right click manage flags and check boot
(I assume your other working HDD partition for Win 7 bkp was created as active?)
Try your O/S again
If no go
Insert your Win 7 DVD
Go thru install until it reaches repair my computer
Click that and go to cmd prompt
At cmd prompt (should say something like X: account/user) type:
bootsect.exe_/nt60_all
if that doesnt work type
bootsect.exe_/nt60_all_/force

If that fails, using bootrec gets a bit more complicated
