Boot file emergency

[surplus-addict]

Guys, I a, really confused here.

I have a 160GB drive, and a 1TB drive in my computer, and I just built a new system.

I have Windows 7 installed on the 1TB... Or so I thought.

So I built my new system, and I was planning on swapping the 1TB drive into it and just getting rid of the old 160GB (it's old and it was just holding some photos from ages ago, I hadn't accessed it in years, actually, I hadn't even tried to access it since I got the 1TB drive and installed Windows 7 on it)

I swapped the 1TB into the new system, and it wouldn't. Boot.

I put the 1TB back into my old system, it booted fine. I looked at 'My Computer' to access my files to see what was up, and then I noticed it...

The 160GB drive didn't exist.

Guys... Windows reformated and installed the system reserved files (the 100MB partition of boot essential files) onto the 160GB drive, not the 1TB drive.

I'm legitimately scared, because that 160GB drive is over 10 years old and I didn't even know it was RUNNING.

If that dies, my 1TB won't boot. At all. I'll be dead in the water.

So: how do I move the super hidden boot files from the 160GB drive onto my 1TB, AND have it boot and run safely?

I am eternally thankful, guys.

Nevermind, I just FIXED IT MUHSELF.

I just created a partition on the 1TB drive, and mirrored all the information from the 160GB drive onto the new partition.

Boots like a dream.

I never thought that would work, but it does, somehow
