Newly build PC hard drive problem Hello Guys&Girls
I've recently built a new system with 2x2TB drives, one with my OS on and one with my Music etc on..
When i power on the machine, it starts to boot up, then throws an error message, instantly, then instantly reboots so i am unable to view it, and then it boots straight into windows, it's as if its trying to boot from the wrong hard drive.
I then installed Partition manager, to look at my drives, and this is what i got.
I thought maybe this is the problem, as disk 1 is not my C:
Any help please?
Thankyou

According to your screen shoot, Disk 1 has the system reserved partition, but your OS is installed to disk 2. Normally they would both be on the same drive.
What does disk management show?
What drive is set to boot from in the BIOS? | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built OS Windows 7 Ultimate AMD64 CPU AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition Deneb 3.7GHz Motherboard Asus M4N68T-M V2 µATX Motherboard Memory 8GB 4GBx2 Kingston PC10600 DDR3 1333 Memory Graphics Card BFG NVIDIA Geforce 220GT 1 Gig DDR2 PCIe Sound Card VIA VT1708s High Definition Audio 8-channel Onboard Monitor(s) Displays 2 x 19" I-INC AG191D TFT Flat Panel Screen Resolution 1280x1024 x 2 Keyboard Logitech Internet 600 Mouse Logitech Wireless Trackman Wheel PSU Retail Plus 465 Watt Case Power Up Black ATX Mid-Tower Case Cooling Stock heatsink and fan Hard Drives 500 Gig WesternDigital SATA-300 Drive Internet Speed 80 Mbps Down 30 Mbps Up Antivirus Microsoft Security Essentials Browser Internet Explorer 10 Other Info HP DVD1040e Lightscribe - External USB2 |

Yes only one operating system resides but was installed on disk 2 instead of disk 1 but the 100MB reservered partition which is installed with Windows 7 will always be on the first partition of the first drive and contains data for bitlocker and startup repair should you need it.

Would doing the startup repair, change my c: to disk 1 instead of 2? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Made OS Windows 7 64-bit CPU Intel Core i7-2700K CPU @ 3.50GHz (8 CPUs) OC 4.5GHz Motherboard Asus P8Z68-V PRO GEN3 Memory 32GB Corsair 12800J DDR3 Graphics Card 2 x Asus NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560Ti Monitor(s) Displays 2 x Asus VS228H Monitors Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Logitech K300 Mouse Logitech LS1 PSU Powercool 1050w 80+ Modular Case Coolermaster CM690 II Cooling ThermalTake Contac Ultra Silent Cooler, 2 x Noctua NF-P12 Hard Drives 2 x Seagate ST2000DM001 |

Windude99's instructions are what you need to do, there will only be Disk 1 until you plug in the other drive after startup repair fixes your problem.
In the future, when installing Windows 7, only have one drive run running on your machine!
Connect your other drives after the install. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP p6370t OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit CPU i3-530 Motherboard MSI - IONA Memory 8 Gb Graphics Card onboard Sound Card onboard Monitor(s) Displays Dell ST2400 Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Hard Drives Intell 520 SSD 120Gb, WD6400AAKS, 640Gb & WD USB MyBook 1Tb Internet Speed 1.5 Mmbps, Hughes Satellite |

The 100MB System Reserve is what Windows boots from.It then hands it off to your Windows OS partition, drive "C". They need to both reside on the same disk, Disk 0 (or 1 if you want). At the present time the system reserved is on one disk and your C drive is on the other. What Windude99 is trying to do is force Windows to write the system reserved partition to the correct disk. You can then delete the wrong system reserved partition, and you should have no problems booting then. As Windude asked, disconnect the drive with the current system reserved partition and run startup repair 3 times with attempted boots in between each time. Or if you would rather, connect the correct disk only, and do a clean install. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built- Always under construction OS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 X64/ linux in VM CPU Intel i7-3770K Motherboard Asus Maximus V Extreme Z77 Memory 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws Z DDR3-2400 (2X4GB) Graphics Card EVGA GTX 670 SC 4GB Sound Card On Board Monitor(s) Displays Asus 24" LCD Screen Resolution 1920X1080 Keyboard Logitech G510 Mouse Logitech G500 PSU CORSAIR AX850 Case Cooler Master HAF X Cooling Custom Water Cooling Hard Drives Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB, Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB, Samsung 830 256GB, Samsung HD103SJ 1TB .
