| | It would be better to swap C to Disk0 so any future Startup Repair won't derail the System Boot files to a preceding partition which is accidentally marked Active. Remember to set it first to boot if you do. Either way you need to mark H Inactive - only the System drive should be marked Active: Partition - Mark as Inactive - Windows 7 Forums |

| | If you don't mind me butting in, you need to open your box and swap the leads from the hard drives 0 and 2 on the SATA ports on your motherboard. That is, the lead now on port 2 wants to go on port 0 and the lead on port 0 wants to go on port 2. |

| | Change the leads back again, and then run startup repair three times with a reboot between each occurrence. Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times |

| | What Greg said. Just switching the SATA cables around does do it. After you do that you have to go into the BIOS setup and set Disk 0 as the Boot drive. |
