    I dont know how to fix this problem and i hope folks here can help me. Basically im using Symantic Backup Exec 2010 to back up my PC (and its giving me problems)

    I needed to increase the space on my windows partition the other day and made a balls of it.

    When i did manage to fix it by restoring the backup i had it seemed to go all wrong.

    Bascially my main OS is win7 64 bit, its on the c drive. But for some reason the Bootloader (multi boot PC) is on a totaly different hard disk i.e z:.

    How do i fix this so that the bootloader is on the Windows 7 harddrive.

    Everytime i restored the backup copy i had it failed as it would assign a new drive letter to the copy and then programs on the disk would be reading for the C: drive instead of working on the hard drive it was restored too.

    I reckon your best bet would be to boot off the Windows 7 DVD, select "Repair My Computer" and try the Startup Repair option. That should fix it if it's a relatively straightforward bootloader issue.

    Otherwise, you should take a look at this Microsoft KB article. It should help you sort the issue.
