NOTE: Basic problem (not drawn out story) at bottom.

So heres my problem: I installed Win 7 on a drive a while back and earlier today I decided that I needed more hard drive space. I saw that I had 100gb of unallocated space on the drive, but it was behind my Win7 partition, making it impossible to resize that partition. So I defragged with Perfect Disk 10 which moves all the files to the back of the partition, cleaned up, disabled all the usual things, ran defragger again, and then booted into a live cd of GParted. I then proceeded to move my Win7 partition behind the unallocated space so I could extend the volume. Unfortunately, something went wrong and now I get the error message "Disk boot failure, please instert system disk and hit enter." So I followed the directions and ran startup repair, tried manually creating the bootmgr, and ran all the tests, but it still doesn't work. Luckily for me, I was able to reinstall win7 on the unallocated space so I can at least get to the files on my other drive, which I discovered are all perfectly fine. I'm hoping this will be a quick fix since it seems like all the files are ok. What should I do so that I can boot back into that partition?

Long story short, I tried moving the partition, and something went wrong, and now I can't boot into that drive. I installed another copy of Win 7 on another partition and all the files are ok. What do I need to do to the original partition to get it to boot again?

See if you can get it bootable again using this software

Yes you will need to delve into the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store which is new to Windows Vista and above, it replaces the old Boot.ini you had with Windows XP. The tool that Mumbodog has suggested is very good but it is not free, here is a guide on how to use BCD here: http://www.computerperformance.co.uk.../vista_bcd.htm

but it is not free,

The version I linked to is the free version. I have it installed and works well.

My bad, I went to their website it appears they are now charging $9.99 for a Personal License, bummer! I've managed to find another program for editing the BCD from the comfort of a GUI called EasyBCD here: http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1
