How to remove slic loader from windows 7 windows 7#
I detached the old system drive (Vista) and made sure the new Windows 7 drive was set to boot. Also the BCD file within the Boot folder couldn't be copied (it was in use), but that did not matter.
These are system files so you need to enable fileview for those. Copied the bootmgr file and the Boot folder from Vista to Windows 7.

In fact no code was typed here - only using the basic repair options. I managed to make it work and I didn't have to do all the steps I mentioned. No problem KeithG2 - just glad someone gave me input. I found this description that I would like to try: Detach the Vista partition/disk and then boot into recovery console and open diskpart: > list disk > select disk=0 (or other) > select partition=1 (or other) > Active > exit Then do this: X:\source> X:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt60 C: /force X:\source> bootrec /fixmbr X:\source> bootrec /fixboot X:\source> bootrec /rebuildbcd X:\source> exit In essence this must do the following: make Windows 7 partition the active one and the rebuild the bcd which *could* make it bootable. But I do not dare to mess with the boot files just yet. I've read other places (not giving me a total solution though) that it should be possible to detach the Vista disk with the system files for booting, then repairing the Windows 7 disk. I believe it must be possible to let the disk where Windows 7 resides be the first boot, and somehow edit the boot manager to let this happen. Didn't confuse me but the fact that you reccomend me to reinstall Windows 7 is too much work if other options are available. I booted another CD (Gparted - freeware partition manager) after I attached the old disk again, and then deleted this partition (whole disk in my case) Success! I can now boot into Windows 7 and have made the just unallocated diskspace into a new partition from within Windows 7 Disk Manager! Then - with the old disk detached - I booted the Windows 7 DVD - twice! First to find the installation and next time to start the Startup Repair. In my case I had to swap SATA on the motherboard, others would probadly need to do it in BIOS.
But how can I safely remove this? I will list my bcdedit info here, so you can see the setup and hopefully help me with this: - Windows Boot Manager - identifier nx OptIn. I assume that the Vista disk has a bootmanager, that must be removed. I have tried to read about bcdedit, and I would like to know what I do before I try it. I can now boot directly into Windows 7 after removing the Vista entry using EasyBCD, but the Vista disk is still labeled as a system disk in the Disk Management, and cannot be formatted. Now I'm satisfied with Windows 7 and have tried to remove Vista. Hi all, I installed my Windows 7 in dualboot with Vista.
