Windows+Mint Dual Boot: Food boot record after replacing the disk that had the boot record?
Windows+Mint Dual Boot: Food boot record after replacing the disk that had the boot record?
I had multiple disks in my PC, one with Windows and one with Linux. The drive with Linux had the boot record I guess; I removed and replaced that one with a new disk and again installed Linux on it (so the Windows disk has been the same the while time), but I can no longer log into Windows while this new disk is installed and the old disk is removed. I can log into Linux while the new disk is installed, and if I swap back to the old disk I can log into Windows.
How do I fix things so I can not into Windows or new Linux while the new disk is installed? I don't mind reinstalling my Linux OS, but I really don't want to reinstall Windows.

Thanks for the response.
you can try copying the Windows boot sector byte for byte from the swapped out disk to a partition on the new disk
How would I go about doing this? Macrium Reflect?
