Problem booting Win7 portion of dual boot

[tinpanalley]

I run a dual boot system, one SSD with Win7, one with Win10. I only use the 7 for older programs and game that have trouble with Windows 10.

Yesterday, I had turned off the computer and used the SATA and power cables of the Windows 7 SSD to power another SSD I have for storage of media. For some reason it shuts off when I use a dock so I have to connect it directly to the motherboard.

When I went to boot up the Windows 7 SSD after finishing with my copying, I got this...



Can anyone help me figure out what might be wrong and how to fix this? Some specs that might be of assistance.

Thank you!!

I have a bigger problem now.

I went into EasyBCD thinking that maybe the two drives just needed to be reconnected again to the boot menu. So I did that. I re-assigned each drive to a bootup option for Win7 and Win10. Now NEITHER boots. Even the C drive boots to a "failed to start error".

So now I get this on my C drive...


Any ideas?

The drive you've indicated is the Win 7 SSD is NOT an SSD. You should have inserted your windows disc & let it repair the first time it failed to boot.

Yeah, that was a typo. I've edited it.
I did use my Win7 disc when it was just the 7 that wouldnt load, but it kept telling me that I had the wrong disc for a different OS because it wanted to only see the Win10 drive. Fearing I would do more damagr if I swapped the drives again, I didnt continue.

Is there nothing I can do?

Attach ONLY one drive, use corresponding OS disc to repair each drive, separately..

Yeah, I tried that. The repair function on the disc says it can't help. Really lost here.

You most likely lost all the boot info so you need to start from scratch and rebuild your dual boot.
Your main thing will be do you want to backup the data you have now which I suggest using ATI make a disk image or if you have another hard drive you can use use that to do the reinstall.
Just be careful that you dont have your problem hard drive active while your doing the reinstall as it can cause its own problems. That why I like ATI you can make non booting backup image to recover all you old games and programs while doing your recovery.
