Windows 10: My Windows Install has no boot loader because it was on another drive that has been...

So I had multiple SSD drives each with a different install of an OS. Windows 10, and two copies of Windows 11 Each time I wanted a fresh install I bought a new M2 and added it to the machine with a freshly purchased copy of Windows.I removed an older M2 after I knew it was no longer needed and now my existing copy of Windows 11 has no way to boot even when I select it in the bios.I've tried repair, but it doesn't work. I'm guessing its because it never had a bootable partition on this drive.Can someone please tell me how I make my Windows install bootable?Can you just create a fresh boot

How do I remove the Linux Boot Loader?

You don't actually uninstall a boot loader but replace it with another.

You cannot get Ubuntu to start on a Windows' boot loader, it needs to be GRUB (or an open source equivalent).

Any ways, to get the Windows' boot loader back up, you need to insert your WIN7 installer disk and select the repair option>startup repair. I am assuming the WIN7 will use a similar setup menu as VISTA.

Follow the guide here for step by step intructions: Fixing the Windows Bootloader via the setup DVD

After that, just format the partition/disk that ubuntu is on...

 

Move Boot Loader?

I installed Ubuntu Karmatic Koala on a partition utilizing some free space i had on a 320GB drive (which also is where i store my files. I have 160GB hardrive with windows 7 on it and the boot loader for grub. I want to wipe the 160GB harddrive so i can use it for storage but doing so will erase my boot loader making the harddrive unbootable. What should i do?

how to rebuild the ubuntu boot loader

I was using the boot loader that ubuntu installed to load linux and windows xp individually, but after I tried to reinstall xp using a bootable usb drive it erased my boot loader information leaving xp as the only os to boot.

I want to know what are the commands that I need to input maybe inside a live ubuntu so I can use my existing ubuntu instalation as well as xp like it was before this accident.
