My MSconfig boot tab is empty, and I can't fix it

Which BIOS setting were you using? Try Legacy only since your install is MBR and not the modern UEFI as you don't have an EFI partition.

I was using UEFI and Legacy. If i try to change it to Legacy only, its giving me a bluescreen.

Oh, interesting.

UEFI only seems to work. I guess thats the case since it is installed on my SSD which is GPT.

You said MBR and I didn't see an EFI partition - feel like I'm missing something here

The HDD is mbr (disk 0). The SSD is gpt (disk 1). Windows is installed in my ssd only currently, as i deleted the original partition.

I don't see an EFI partition on either drive ..... am I just not seeing it

Since changing to UEFI in BIOS now, do you notice any difference at bootup and in msconfig?

Sorry, I don't follow that - what original partition did you delete?

See method 2 if I'm following correctly that you don't have an EFI partition:

Nope no changes at all.

It was on disk 0 (the hdd). It was the former C: disk now called E:

Okay, so tell me more details. What exactly was this partition and why did you delete it?
