[Solved] HDD Won't boot After 2nd HDD Install

Hi guys initially i had one HDD installed in my system. A few days ago i took the HDD
from my old PC and installed it in my current one PC
(which has the "current HDD" as you will see later in this thread)
the old hdd has windows vista on it while the current hdd has windows 7 and ubuntu 11.10 on it.

so the older hdd was stuck in and ready to go, and i booted into windows vista succesfully. after about 5 minutes
i shut down the PC. Today i tried booting into windows 7 and it only got as far as the startup logo and then the
screen went black.

Booting into ubuntu is no problem, it's only windows 7 that's problematic.

Help please?

PS: do you think a CMOS reset will help?

Thanks

Yes to the question! First step when having problems.

You can try EasyBCD and/or VistaBootPro.

Ok, let us know, if you get it solved after the Image has been put back on.
And if it doesn't work, use any one of those 2 programs mentioned to rectify it.

ok everything restored except now the ubuntu partition is gone which is fine because i was going to try linux mint anyway.

thanks for your help everyone.
