How do I fix Win7 MBR without install disc?

[mcvickj]

I have an Acer Verizon L480G that I want to clone to move to a larger hard drive. I used Ghost to create the image and then dumped it to the new hard drive. When I try to boot from the new drive I am running into an error message.

Status: 0xc000000e
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.

Everything that I have found so far says to pop in your Windows 7 media and run a repair. The problem is I did not receive any media with this computer. All I have is the system restore DVDs that I had to create when I first booted the computer.

Thoughts?

Odds are you did not use Ghost properly. When you make an Image, you should set the "-IB" command swiitch. This makes sure Ghost copies the Boot Sector.
See the Ghost help file. Another easier way is have Ghost do a Clone from the Old Drive to the new Drive. Then just shut down the computer, swap the drives and it will boot right up.
