Hello,
I had a problem with one of my Hard Drives with Win7 and decided to use Win 8.1 till I sorted that problem, which went well until I shut down the system and booted the drive with Win8.1 on it, except it didn't boot.
I went back to the Win7 drive and that drive had problems also.
After checking I found the the boot system on both the drives were corrupted. However the drive that I am on now (also a Win7 drive) is working fine.
What I need is some recomendations on software that can be booted off a DVD that can re-build the boot information on the Win8 and Win7 Drives (individualy). I would prefer Paid software as long as it is a reasonable cost.
I need preferably single click operation as I am mentally lacking when it comes to boot sectors etc.
I used to have a utility but have forgoton what it is called, with it you downloaded the software, made a bootable DVD and loaded the utility on to it, put the DVD into the drive and after it booted the system displayed a screen on the PC, and you just selected automatic and clicked enter and away it went and fixed the drive. There were other options but I didn't need them. I took the DVD out and the system worked lovely after that.
That utility was for Windows 7 and I don't know if they had one for Windows 8 either, I wish I could remember the name but I can't.
I hope someone here can advise on various software utilities that will do the job please
Thanks in advance
Roger
