FD-ISR on a new dell...

Hi,

I just got a new Laptop Dell with windows 7. Now, if I try to install my FD-ISR 3.32.235 on it, I receive the following message : FD-ISR requires that windows system volume be the boot volume

If I check my hard disk, I see the 3 following partition :
- FAT 16
- Recovery (NTFS) status : system
- C:OS (NTFS) status : boot

If I make the partition C:OS active, will my system be able to reboot or will my system won't be able to reboot?

Thanks,

Probably, it won't be able to boot (it depends from where your bootmgr file is located).

The correct procedure is the following:
Copy all the files from your recovery partition to your OS partition with robocopy; use RichCopy (robocopy guide) to copy them.

Then you should update your OS partition bootsector with a Vista bootsector https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1566963&postcount=141 by using the command:
bootsect /nt60 c:

After that you can make active your c: partition.

I'll check that and if not too complicated, I might try it
