Hi all,
can someone help me. While installing RHEL6, i forget to choose the option Primary Boot Option from external hard disk and now i am unable to boot my Windows Professional from my internal harddisk. Whenever I want to start my Windows, everytime I have to plug my external hardisk and then select Other option to start my windows. I think this is the problem of MBR but i don't know how to restore back to my internal hardisk. Also i don't have Windows prof CD/DVD. Please help me its so frustating to plug and take external hardisk everytime whenever n wherever i need to start my laptop(Dell).
Thanks
Thanks TobiSGD,
I have tried all these options but there is a message "'bootrec.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external, operable program or batch file ". What is the next option i can try. Please help me.
Automated repair should fix it. Boot to the dvd. As TobiSGD says almost any real Windows dvd would work or parts of on a usb. A neighbor or friends should work to do repair.
