Default O.T. Missing Folder/files


I put the Rescue CD in and selected fix boot problems and then restarted it
but no change. I then went to the CMD prompt and typed

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu True

and the Windows Boot Manager (WBM) screen is back!

In passing, I believe I do have Win 7 CD's ,,,(4) CD's - Dell Data Safe) set that
you had me create at the time.

The only problem is there is no other hd besides #3 we can we can use at the
present because the 8500 will not recognize an external hd to clone. Otherwise
we could clone #4 and save #3. We were so close to finishing when I got the
\ Invalid Windows OS. That totally screwed us and de-Activated the 1TB.

So right now we need to get it Activated again so I can put the 1TB back in and
start cloning. That's the ultimate goal. If I could clone over #4 now I would. That's
the problem; the external hd's aren't connecting ever since we got the Invalid Win
OS message. The only external hd that connects has the Mrimgs on it.

So should I try to connect a external hd with#4 to the 8500 to see if it will accept it?
If it does then we should be able to put 1TB back in the 8500 and clone#4. Although
I doubt it will recognize it. That's the problem.

Thoughts/Suggestions?
Robert
