Having to windows repair every PC swap

izit · 9 Mar 2011 at 21:59

Hey, I swap computers a lot and every single time I change I'm having to run windows repair to boot in to windows 7.
Does anyone know a work around to stop it doing this?

What the hell are you doing to your computers to trash the OS each time?

You change boot controller, you need to repair windows to be able to boot from the drive.

This is intended. Stop moving the HDD around different hardware configurations.

I considered that possibility, but dismissed it thinking no one would be that daft!

Changing the hardware platform regularly must trash the HAL and cripple performance.

That poor HAL.

'I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you.'
