Dual Boot Question/Unable To Find System Disk
I currently have two separate hard drives in my home PC. My C: drive has Windows Vista on it and my X: drive has Windows 7 on it. The system is dual booted and if I choose either operating system, it boots fine to whichever OS I choose.
My issue is this: If I disconnect one of the drives (either one), I get an error after BIOS that it cannot find the system disk. I know which drive is C: vs. X: while looking inside my case.
My goal is to remove the drive with Vista on it to use in another PC (given drive prices are through the roof today). I just want to keep my drive with Windows 7 on it (currently labeled in the system as drive X).
Is there a way around this without having to format my drive (X) with Windows 7 on it AFTER I remove the C: drive with Vista on it?
Sorry if this all sounds confusing. Thanks in advance for the help.
