Installed a new Sata capable hard drive in my computer. Tried to install
windows 7 on the new hard drive. Would not install; as it indicated that
the drive probably would not accept a operating system (Had to us an
expansion card with a Sata interface ). Said "OH well" and decided to do
some research. Tried to boot into my orginal windows XP operating system
and an error popped up stating "Boot Mangaer is missing"! Black screen.
What??

I have a back up; but don't like the idea of jumping through all those
hoops!

Thought I would be able to rebuild the boot manager with the recovery
console. Not; said the file system was corrupt. Presently doing a
restore from my recent bsck up. Hopefully that will work. The last time
I tried a restore; the stupid back up was corrupt. Seems to be working
as it's being done as I speak.
