    Windows will only boot if booting from CD drive with windows install disk and not from ssd...


    This is a somewhat unusual problem. I built a friend a new pc and installed windows from a cd onto the PC's ssd. After shutting down the pc after setting up windows I removed the CD drive and proceeded to boot up the PC and it is stuck on the motherboard's logo screen and wont boot. We tried a couple times and even waited for 30 minutes and it didn't boot. I then re-attached the CD drive and booted from it and tried a windows repair. The repair wizard said nothing was wrong and it booted just fine. It seemed that the windows install on the ssd is just fine, but only if I boot from the cd drive

    :)

    Boot windows installation within a partition?

    You mean with one hard disk drive, I can put in dozens of partition, including windows 7 setup and windows 8 setup, and if I try to boot it, the computer will read it as another bootable device?

  3. Boot windows installation within a partition?

    for boot disks there is nothing better than SARDU

    "SARDU creates a multiboot USB drive, a multiboot DVD or CD (all-in-one) for free (personal and non commercial use, read the license). Hard disks (internal and external), SSD, USB flash drive and all removable memory disk and media are supported.
    The multi bootable device can include comprehensive collections of antivirus rescue CD, utilities and popular Linux live distributions. Windows PE can also be included, as well as recovery disks and install media for Windows XP (Professional, Home and 64 Bit), Windows Vista, Windows Seven and Windows Eight."

    i have every version of windows, all my repair boot disks and a few linux distros all bootable from one hard drive. just make a fat 32 partition at the start of your usb drive and call it SARDU the program will do the rest.

    Unable to Boot Windows Install

    go in bios and set your boot device priority to dvd drive then hard drive so it will boot the windows disk first
