My BBM 1.0.5 has died
Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2012 2:21 am
I came home from work this evening and my computer won't boot. It looks like:
Loading Operating System...
Boot from CD/DVD:
Boot from CD/DVD: (I have 2 DVDs installed)
I then put my BBM CD in the drive and rebooted. It came up with Upgrade as the only choice (the rest were grey)
So, I upgraded...nada. I then upgraded selecting the partition to install BBM...nada. I then tried resetting the MBR to Win7...nada. (I have Win7sp1 Ultimate installed.) I can see the partitions in the CD version of BBM (There are seven or eight and partitions are NOT limited.) But anything I seem to do, I can't get the drive to show the BBM menu or boot. (In retrospect, it's a good thing changing MBR to Win7 didn't work because of the unlimited partitions.)
I have 2 SATA drives installed, one 1.5TB with the OS's and the other a 1TB with images (I don't boot from this drive.) I can see both drives in BIOS and the boot drive settings are correct. I can see both drives in BBM. The Win7ULT partition is set active in MBR.
Hopefully, this is just an oversight on my part, but I don't know where to go next. Any suggestions??
Thanks for any help you may give,
Bob Sanders
