The title may sound confusing, so I will try to explain in detail:
I had some issues with a broken partition table due to an unstable OC. I could not get it repaired and decided to start over with a clean install. I swapped the CPU, reset CMOS for stock settings and booted from an installation stick.
I deleted the old partitions, formatted the drive and did the installation. No errors, no trouble.
After this I let the system do all the updates over night (~100) like I did 10x before. I removed the USB-Stick and tried to reboot, but can´t. System posts and goes black screen after that. Scratched my head and tried to boot from the install/repair stick and got into windows as if nothing ever happened.
Upon investigation I can now boot into the windows on my drive ONLY if I select boot from USB. And due to that I can not access the installation media on the stick!
Somehow it must have written the boot record for the drive on that USB-stick. I wonder if it is possible to safely move that over to the drive, because currently I can not use the machine without the stick and can´t get to the repair options because I can´t boot from the stick.
I would love to not have to wipe everything on a different PC and start over, this install and update process already ate my whole sunday...
Any suggestions? SFC did not find anything wrong, bootrec /fixmbr does not work from CMD on the installed windows, guess I need the repair stick for that.
