I have a windows to go hard drive and an error came up recently saying "windows/system32/winload.exe corrupt or missing". I made a recovery drive from normal windows 8 but it cant detect the windows to go hard drive (I think its because its only looking to internal hard drives). any help would be appreciated. thanks

EDIT:: it should say winload in the title
