Boot windows CD and tell it you need to fix the install on that partition?
It will probably wipe grub but that shouldn't be too hard to re-install and
if it gets your problem solved then it was worth it.
After spending Friday and Saturday trying to come up with a way to
salvage the existing Win7 installation and get it to boot, on Sunday I
finally gave up and simply re-installed. Success!
After tweaking some UUID's and updating fstab, I've got the old HDD
installed along with the SSD, and I'm back to dual-boot status.
In hindsight, re-installing Windows was not only the simplest plan, it
was the only sane plan because ALL of the hardware had changed and I
would still have had to re-install all the Windows drivers.
(Fortunately, I had saved a copy of the Win7 SP1 update and didn't have
to download that ~900MB worth of stuff.)
Yet... with Linux, I simply cloned the partitions updated GRUB a bit,
and was good to go. Didn't need to worry about drivers. I love you,
Linux. LOL
No other suggestions available from me...
None were needed, I wish I had simply done that on Friday, then I could
have relaxed and enjoyed being sick on Saturday and Sunday. heh heh
Next, I've got some questions about ramdisks and maybe changing from a
MBR setup to UEFI/GPT... but that can wait. heh heh
Thanks, everyone!!
