Hello there,
basically, I have a computer which has 4 partitions (storage, system reserved, Windows 7 Ultimate, and Professional).
The Professional partition was running out of space (around 3GB left), and I wanted to allocate more space.
I used a free partition editor tool (namely AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition 5.8) to shrink and allocate more space.
I took about 20GB of space from the Ultimate partition, and gave that space to the professional partition so it has ~23GB.
I then rebooted the computer to go back into the professional partition so that i could continue transferring files from the other partition.
I can boot into the Ultimate partition, but selecting the Professional partition now gives me this error: the required boot device is inaccessable.
I know that the partition is accessible and that the partition as fine as I can simply access it via the file explorer on the Ultimate partition.
For reference, I have also attached a screenshot of my partitions to this post.
My end goal is be to make the Professional partition bootable again, so I don't have to undo my changes.
E.g: transfer all of my documents/software/updates across to the other older/slower installation of Windows.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
