How to get my OS to showup in system repair on my windows 7 boot disk.
Can anyone help me do this, I have two harddrives and neither are showing up, I need to repair my MBR because I'm getting the error BOOT DISK FAILURE at startup.
If anyone has any ideas on how I can get them to show up, help would be greatly obliged.
Thanks a lot!

Do the hard drives show up in BIOS?Yes they show up under the Hard disk drive boot in bios.
i have 2 one of which is a few weeks oldHow were these WIN 7 DVD's created ? ?
Is it the BETA or the RC ? ?Its the OEM version burned with power iso.There is no OEM version out yet...unless you know someone that works for Microsoft...Not out legally...Then you'll need to find someone with a legit copy of the RC .iso...otherwise you're stuck.i have a copy of the legit copy of the rc alsoThen try burning a new DVD using PowerISO again.
Something's wrong.

It should be bootable.ok on my old drive i just installed windows xp now i should beable to fix the mbr, but will it fix it for both hard drives? or just my old one and not the new hard drive with windows 7 on it

It should be bootable.

the problems not the bootablility the problem is when i boot the hard drive i need to fix will not showup under repair
neither of them showupNo.
The XP MBR fix will do nothing for the Win7 drive.
Provide more details on these drives...how you initially set them up and what led to the 7 drive being un-bootable...Ok, originally all i had was one drive a western digital caviar green, this had windows 7 beta on it which was RUNNING fine, I was experimenting with some games and needed to dual boot with xp, this also WORKED fine. I needed more space so I bought a new samsung spinpoint (both hard drives are 1 TB) hard drive, since i had the old win 7 and xp dual booted i had to add the new windows 7 to my dual boot menu, when i originally dual booted and the second time, i used Easy BCD
Since i was done with the old windows 7 i needed to erase the old hard drive.
I used KillDisk to erase it, everything went fine to my knowledge and now I believe I cannot boot because all the "Boot information" was on my old hard drive which i erased.
A few people have been helping me in the chat, but we haven't had much success.
I currently have both hard drives plugged in win 7 (unbootable) installed on the new one and win xp is installed on the old hard drive.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for your help!
