Or, it could be that I'm a tard.
I just upgraded my system today.
NEW:
Gigabyte P55M-UD2
Intel i5
4GB of DDR3-1333
WD Caviar Black 1TB
Case
From previous:
600W PS
GTX 260
320GB HDD (previously Win7 main drive, partitioned 50GB & whatever was left)
I put it together, installed Win7 on the new 1TB drive. When booting, it would give me the option to boot to:
Windows 7
Windows 7
One was the new install on the 1TB and the other was the old one on the 320GB drive. So, I booted into the new 1TB system, copied over everything I needed from the 320. Windows wouldn't let me re-format the 320 from within Windows, so I booted off the Win7 DVD, and used it to delete the 2 partitions. I was going to format it as one drive, but Win7 disk wanted to make a 100MB partition for system tools, so I just left it unallocated.
Rebooted and now it just sits at "Operating System is loading..."
I've booted off the Win7 DVD again and I'm having it run a Startup Repair, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.
Did I screw it up pretty bad? Is it the MBR looking for the other Win7 drive? I'm not sure what could be going on and how to fix it. Any and all help is very appreciated!
