Disk Management properties seem incorrect I recently re-installed Windows 7. I have 2 internal drives and the drives properties seem incorrect in disk management.
The System drive's properties are listed as
Disk 1 (Boot, Page File, Active, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)
The data drive's properties are listed as
Disk 0 (System, Active, Primary Partition)
I believe the System drive should have System as one of it's properties
...and the data drive should not have System, Active as properties.
Should I change these properties and how can these properties be changed? Also the Disk number are reversed. Should the disk numbers be corrected also? | My System Specs |

Post a picture of Windows Disk Management to avoid confusion.
We need to see info at the partition level, not drive level.
I'd guess you have a System Reserved partition on the data drive. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one OS Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit CPU Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500, not overclocked Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3, full ATX Memory 4 GB Crucial DDR3-1333 Graphics Card none; graphics are integrated on CPU Sound Card onboard: Realtek ALC892; external: USB Behringer UF0-202 Monitor(s) Displays NEC 90GX2-BK 19" LCD Screen Resolution 800 x 640 Keyboard Leopold Tenkeyless with Cherry Blue switches, USB Mouse Logitech or Microsoft optical wired; either USB or PS 2 PSU Seasonic SS-560KM, modular Case Antec Solo II Cooling CPU: Scythe Big Shuriken; Case: Scythe Slipstream 800 & 500 Hard Drives System: Intel 320 Series SSD, 80 GB;

I'd guess you have a system reserved partition on the data drive. Both drives seem to have one partition each. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Reyniers Audio OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU 2x Intel Xeon E5450 (8 x 3.0GHz Cores) Motherboard Tyan S5396 Memory 16 GB Graphics Card XFX GeForce 7200GS Sound Card Fireface 800 Monitor(s) Displays Samsung 22" Hard Drives System 250GB

Look at the above link.
I think you need to mark the J drive inactive and then comply with that link to get your system files moved over to the C drive. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one OS Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit CPU Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500, not overclocked Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3, full ATX Memory 4 GB Crucial DDR3-1333 Graphics Card none; graphics are integrated on CPU Sound Card onboard: Realtek ALC892; external: USB Behringer UF0-202 Monitor(s) Displays NEC 90GX2-BK 19" LCD Screen Resolution 800 x 640 Keyboard Leopold Tenkeyless with Cherry Blue switches, USB Mouse Logitech or Microsoft optical wired; either USB or PS 2 PSU Seasonic SS-560KM, modular Case Antec Solo II Cooling CPU: Scythe Big Shuriken; Case: Scythe Slipstream 800 & 500 Hard Drives System: Intel 320 Series SSD, 80 GB;
