ok, here's what i've done.
installed & set up 8.1 on a new HDD
shut down, reconnected my old HDD with win7 installed
rebooted and win 7 loaded without any option on what to boot from
i copied most of my data files from the win 7 HDD to the 8.1 HDD
disconnected the win 7 HDD and connected up a different HDD that had some other files stored on it.
rebooted and i then got an MBR error, saying there wasn't one, tried putting in the dvd to repair it, says it couldn't repair
i opened up the PC, disconnected the spare HDD
restarted and 8.1 loads as per the original install and working fine.
Question is,
how can i get this HDD to be recognised by 8.1 after when it's connected up, 8.1 gets an MBR error and can't load?
thanks for any info on this
