NTLDR on first SATA drive?
Before installing Windows 7 on a fresh new empty 500 gig drive, I seem to have mixed up SATA1 and SATA2.
The drive accidentally sitting in SATA1 position was a Terabyte drive used on my last system, a Vista system I fried.
Once I noticed my mistake, after the Windows 7 install, I switched them so that the boot drive can be SATA1. When I went to reboot, the message was "can't find NTLDR", so I assume that important file is on the terabyte drive, which I want to format now that I've moved my files to the new drive.
IT won't let me format, which is another reason I think some important files landed on the terabyte drive.
What can I do to change this so the Western Digital Terabyte drive can be formatted, and the boot drive can sit at the SATA1 position?
Thank you in advance for any help.
