Move Win7 64 image from a partition NTFS to a new drive

EDIT: After reading your first post again, is there any reason that you would now need GPT? Are you just trying to move the windows install to a new disk or is there a new motherboard involved?

If you are already booting to an NTFS partition, then it makes me wonder if after copying to the new drive, the partition isn't getting marked as Active.

Following the same steps I posted above for startup repair, you can get to a command prompt and use diskpart to see if this is the case.

Code: In the command prompt: diskpart list disk select disk 0 (disk number may be different if you have other disks connected.) list partition select partition 0 (partition number number may vary, but you want to see the boot partition which is the same as your windows partition according to the screenshot on the OP) detail partition (This should have Active: Yes or No. If it says no, since we have the partition selected, you can just use the following command in diskpart) active[/quote]

 

Unformat NTFS help!!

It was a single drive 250gb data partition that was quickformated ntfs. I had backup folders on it of mp3s, pictures, etc and due to xp's above mentioned file copy bug I have to copy folders one at a time. I got all but one. I thought I had them all because the destination drive showed 25 folders which is what the source drive had but one of the 25 was the damn system restore folder and that screwed up my count. A folder was missed. *Bang Head :banghead:
