Hello!

I had a Windows on my disk and when gone to new HDD, I copied all the files from the old to the new. (Of course I made an NTFS partition and formatted before that). I also ran fixmbr and fixboot from recovery console, but it still says: Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk. What else should I do to boot?

PS. What is interesting, the recovery console asked for my administrator password and the password I used on old disk was right.. so the windows works somehow but doesnt boot.

Thanks.

If you just moved files, but didn't copy using an imaging program or sector copy program, the mft on the disk is all screwed up now and will give you this error until you do a repair installation.

The fastest way shouldn't be the repair install but simply imaging the old disk on the new or cloning it depending on the tools you'll use.
