A few weeks ago I put a bootcamp partition on my 320gb HDD in my mbp early 2009. However, a few days ago I bough me a 1tb hdd and exchanged it. Of course, I don't really want to re-install windows all over again, and just "copy" over my installed version.
After installing OS X I created a bootcamp partition and rebooted. I put my old HDD in a chassi and booted up into recovery-mode for OS X. Here I used the disk utility to "restore" the USB Bootcamp partition to the new Bootcamp partition.
Now, when I boot, I can boot to the bootcamp partition, but as soon as it is boots I get the Missing operating system
error.
I tried booting from the original windows 7 disk and choose repair, but get the message that I cannot repair the current version of windows since its not the same version.
How can I solve this, without reinstalling windows?
diskutil list
- check what your new and old disk are called, let's assume disk0 and disk1, then run:sudo gpt -r show disk0
,sudo gpt -r show disk1
,sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
,sudo fdisk /dev/disk1
. This tells us the OSX and Windows partition tables on both disks, and might give us a clue as to where to start fixing
